We recently published Professor Kofi Anyidoho’s latest Anthology:

”In See What They’ve Done to Our SunRise, Anyidoho continues to push the boundaries of poetic expression, crafting a unique voice that is both personal and universal. The title of the collection is itself a powerful statement, suggesting the disillusionment that has befallen Africa, while also hinting at the possibility of renewal and rebirth. Through the poems, Anyidoho invites readers to reflect on the past, engage with the present, and imagine a future that is both uncertain and full of promise.”

Bernice Awotwe Baidoo, author of

‘…Of Everything I Am!’

Look out for her next collection andiamo…’

an intergenerational poetic conversation on ‘love’

co-authored with Gameli Tordzro.

Hodey Olympio has “Quiet Power” and an Unbreakable spirit.

Her debut anthology “I Am A Woman” is the awakening of a young poet who dares to speak her corridors of becoming.

Walking through the corridors of womanhood, Hodey Olympio carries pain, healing, rediscovery and quiet power in her hands — and writes them into light.

I Am A Woman is the second title in the Festival of Daughters Series.

A bold, honest, tender debut.
