In a world divided between science and spirit, Marcus Kafui Markham stands firmly in the middle balancing microscopes by day and metaphors by night.
Known on stage as The TOWN CRIER, Marcus is not just a performer. He is a vessel. A lab scientist by profession and a poet by calling, his voice carries stories, symbols, and spiritual signals drawn from Ghana’s cultural heritage, ancestral wisdom, and the urgent realities of modern life.
Born and raised in Hohoe, Marcus grew up surrounded by oral tradition and storytelling. His love for rhythm and reason led him to launch the Voice of Poetry podcast, and his work has appeared in Writers Space Africa and Nalubaale Review a testament to his growing footprint in pan-African literary circles.
Whether performing at scientific conferences, wedding receptions, or poetry slams, The TOWN CRIER is committed to preserving Ghana’s oral tradition while addressing themes of identity, social justice, love, and hope. For him, poetry is not mere entertainment it’s an act of illumination.
As he prepares to take the stage at the Ehalakasa National Poetry Slam Prelims 2025, expect more than rhyme. Expect revelation.
