An older generation segment has been created for this year\u2019s event and according to Nana Asaase of Asaase Inscriptions, the segment is \u201cto celebrate them [older generation] while they are alive and not to wait till while they are dead.\u201d<\/p>\n
Writer Erection began three years ago with the aim of reviving public interest in traditional literary works.<\/p>\n
The show was originally created to simply showcase the works of Nana Asaase however, this year; other contemporary artists have been incorporated into the show.<\/p>\n
He recalled that \u201call these years, we\u2019ve only performed my poems for the event and it\u2019s high time we highlight other people\u2019s works.\u201d<\/p>\n
Asaase remarked\u00a0that poetry is gradually gaining grounds in Ghana \u201cbut there are a lot of other people who need that platform to do things like this. This platform brings together people with different poetic styles onto the same stage.\u201d<\/p>\n
He explained that Writer Erections is to encourage other young poets \u201cthat they can also do something. If we come together in groups, we can do so much more.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWe give them the exposure to do this and this is also a way of ensuring that poets get value for what they do\u2026this is the place we get to put all our year\u2019s work together, have fun, treat our audiences to whatever we\u2019ve got,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
He is promising a night of \u201cbeautiful poetry with acoustic music and Ghanaian traditional art performances on display.\u201d<\/p>\n
Surprise personalities are also expected to grace the event.<\/p>\n
The show will take place at the College of Physicians and Surgeons on September 22 at 5pm and the fee is only GHC 35 for single and GHC 60 for couples.<\/p>\n
