Declamations of Century: Poetry for the Lovers and the Haters of Poetry
Poetry is and must be the combination; the necessary union of music and prose, born before each, born from each, and the sacred core of each. The higher purpose of poetry is to express the truth artfully; To be the bridge connecting philosophy to art, logic to aesthetics, science to intuition, reason to emotion. And the poet must be, more so than the voice, the expression of the voice.
Declamations of Century is a book of poems concerning ageless matters of existence and consciousness. Written with clarity of language as a priority, the poems in this book, despite the allusions and double meanings intrinsic to poetry, are each composed of language open to be understood and discerned by the common reader—Poetry should not be strictly exclusive to poets and poem enthusiasts. Just as truth benefits not only the seekers of truth, poetry should benefit and improve not only the seekers of poetry.
The contents of Declamations of Century are scrupulously arranged, so to have you submerge gradually into contemplation. Even so, to make you buoyant in thought so you ascend in contemplation. And in so doing, appreciating the primary purpose of poetry and mind.

When the Person Who is Called COVID Came
For two years and beyond, the 21st century world experienced a near-apocalypse through the COVID-19 Pandemic.
Millions of innocent people have died at the hands of an invisible, merciless plague of a killer.
How have those of us, who have been left behind, coped? How do we even have the space to grieve? How did we adjust to the clichéd ‘New Normal’? How did our lives change? – Our love lives, our family lives, our work lives, our social lives, our faith, our health, our philosophies… How have we changed? How have Ghanaians changed?
By experiencing this encapsulating Poetry Chapbook, you too can relate to the phenomena of COVID and the [Ghanaian] Woman, The COVID News of Emotions that we Haven’t Reported and The Universal Human COVID Experience, all through Apiorkor’s razor-sharp Verse Journalism and poetic spirit, in over twenty pieces of poignant poetry.
