Poetry as another form of entertainment for a long time in Ghana has not received the attention it deserves but an annual event that came into existence three years ago dubbed Verbal Ink aims to change.

According to the organizers, Verbal Ink captures anything pertaining to life and godliness within the confines of morality and awareness through Spoken Word Poetry and other Arts.
