Young Poets- Joyce Aryee
By Abdul Salam Sule, Ghanadot
Accra.arch 13, Ghanadot - Ms Joyce
Aryee, the Executive Director of Ghana Chamber of Mines has
called on communication experts to help to country's young
poets and other artists to market themselves.
Such assistance, she stated would exhibit the talents in
poetry and arts to other Ghanaians and the outside world as
well as attract more young people to the arts.
Ms Joyce Aryee said this during the launch of a programme of
literary recitals dubbed, 'Voice of Ghana' and which was
organised by the Ghana Association of Writers, (GAW).
She noted that many of today's youth had little involvement
with poetry or literature and it was encouraging for GAW to
initiate the year long programme of poetry recitals.
Ms Joyce Aryee therefore urged GAW to sustained the
programme saying, it would go a long way to encourage the
youth to take part in poetry and arts.
On his part, Mr Moses Tetteh, Chairman of Computer
Information Systems (CIS) and who sponsored the programme
said, the arts including poetry could make significant
contributions in the transformation of lives.
"Arts and poetry should therefore be preserved, nurtured and
handed over to our children as a legacy", he advised.
He described CIS Ghana as a total computer provider which
partner with many world-wide and reputable companies to
deliver IT products and services in many sectors of the
Ghana's economy.
According to Mr Moses, CIS Ghana had always been supportive
of the arts and welcomed the opportunity to assist to
pioneer the novelty of discovering new poetry talents.
The President of Ghana Association of Writers, Dr Selbi
Ashong-Katai, said the programme was intended to spread the
literature word by creating a forum for young writers.
