Celebrating Ghana'sCreative Spirit

Most literary journals are run by small, overworked teams, and anything that makes your submission easier to engage with will be highly considered.

As a creative, nothing is more fulfilling than building such authenticity through your works and gaining the trust of your audience.

Boakye D. Alpha cuts straight to the heart of the matter. Instead of presenting struggle as a metaphor or hiding suffering behind neat resolutions, it gives you Tekua, a woman caught between survival and despair, and asks you to sit with her reality.

The New Voices Poetry Contest was born from a desire to give poetic voices in Ghana a platform to celebrate the richness of Ghanaian expression, language and imagination. We believe poetry can be more than words on a page. It can be a reflection of who we are, what we’ve survived and where we’re headed. This contest aims to inspire a new generation of Ghanaian poets to speak boldly, write honestly and be seen.
