On Saturday, 23rd August, 2025, Ghana\u2019s literary landscape will welcome a fresh, high-calibre addition this August as Lorgorligi Locomotion, the creative brand founded by poet and rapper Hondred Percent, launches Sage Poetry, a uniquely curated poetry event designed to spotlight Ghana\u2019s finest poetic voices.<\/p>\n

The maiden edition will take place from 3:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. at E-Ananse Library, East Legon. This inaugural showcase will feature award-winning poets, Nana Asaase, Nana Fredua-Agyeman Jnr, and Akotowaa delivering a rich blend of artistry, culture, and spoken word mastery.<\/p>\n

Unlike open-mic events, Sage Poetry offers a deliberately curated, two-hour programme: three (3) featured poets, each performing two original poems, a heritage recitation by a guest poet to honour voices of the past. A poetic wrap-up capturing the event\u2019s highlights in verse.<\/p>\n

This format ensures a tight, engaging experience while providing audience members the opportunity to connect personally with the performers after the show.<\/p>\n

\u201cSage Poetry is about quality, preservation, and connection,\u201d says founder Hondred Percent. \u201cWe are creating an archive that celebrates Ghanaian poetry and inspires others to engage with it; both live and online.<\/p>\n

\u201dIn partnership with Stylus Innovation, each edition of Sage Poetry will be professionally recorded, archived, and shared via YouTube and social media platforms. This effort aims to build a lasting digital library of Ghanaian poetic expression and encourage global audiences to discover and engage with the country\u2019s vibrant literary talent.<\/p>\n

Tickets are priced at GH\u20b5100 per person, with limited seating available. Attendees are encouraged to book early to secure their spot. Sage Poetry will be held three times annually in April, August, and December. Each edition will feature new artists and creative collaborations.<\/p>\n
