One Ghana, One Voice

This project is believed to be defunct. (June 2016)

About

One Ghana, One Voice was founded in 2007 by Julian Adomako-Gyimah and Rob Taylor. At the time, it was the first and only online magazine dedicated to Ghanaian poetry. Intended to focus solely on Ghanaian poetry, the reality that many countries in Africa had no such portal led to the expansion of our mandate, with poets from Zimbabwe, Nigeria, Sierra Leone, and many other countries featured over the years. We have also featured work by a great number of ex-patriot Ghanaian poets living around the world. In addition to poems, we have published essays, roundtable discussions and more. These special features can be viewed on our Features page. Over the years, we have been thrilled to watch the Ghanaian, and African, online poetry world grow and diversify, in some cases out of connections first made on One Ghana, One Voice. We are no longer alone, but part of a rich array of websites and organizations devoted to championing poetry from and about Ghana.
