Evans Narh: The Teacher-Poet Using Poetry to Inspire Hope and Uplift a Nation

For some, poetry is a performance. For Evans Narh, poetry is purpose in motion.

At 23, this teacher and spoken word artist is not simply chasing stages he’s on a mission to inspire hope, uplift his Dangme heritage, and share the truth of Jesus Christ through the transformative power of art.

Born Terkpernor Evans Narh, his journey intertwines the classroom and the stage. As an educator, he plants seeds of knowledge. As a performer, he plants seeds of faith, resilience, and identity.

Evans doesn’t just write to entertain. He writes to testify. Each verse is a declaration of God’s grace, of tomorrow’s promise, and of the dreams still growing in Ghana’s youth. For him, art is a vessel to tell the world: there is still hope.

As he prepares to step into the spotlight at the Ehalakasa National Poetry Slam Prelims 2025, Evans represents more than himself. He represents the spirit of the Dangme people, the humility of the teacher, and the voice of a generation that still believes in tomorrow.
