He calls himself a “baby poet with adult teeth.” But don’t be fooled Baby Poet’s bite is as real as his rhythm.
A student of the University of Cape Coast and a rising name in Ghana’s poetry scene, Baby Poet doesn’t recite poems he summons them. His words don’t come from practice. They come from a place he calls “the deep, darkest stream.” A place that births truth the world often fears to name.
Blending youthful energy with ancient metaphor, this lyrical steward sees poetry as a form of conviction, a tool to speak loudly even when the world expects silence.
What sets him apart? The metaphors. The mystery. The magic. He doesn’t just perform he declares. And at the National Poetry Slam Prelims 2025, he will stand on that stage not just to earn applause, but to plant roots as the only fresh fruit from the Iroko tree.
This August 9th at the British Council, the mic awaits. Ghana’s next poetic prophet is no longer whispering. He’s here. Call him Baby Poet.

In the world of slam poetry, few voices walk the tightrope between raw vulnerability and unwavering power like Mys Perfect.
A Ghanaian poet, storyteller, and spoken word artist, her performances are not simply heard they’re felt. Her verses reach into the quiet places we often protect, pulling out truths about identity, healing, and the delicate balances of human connection. Her journey into poetry wasn’t loud it was intentional. A rebellion not of fists, but of feelings, penned quietly in notebooks before finding a mic.
Today, Mys Perfect stands as a dynamic creative: a writer, performer, budding music artist, and the force behind Perfect Literary Inc, her personal brand dedicated to literary development and African storytelling.
On stage, she is deliberate. In her words, you feel both ache and agency. She doesn’t just recite she restores. Whether blending poetry into melody or mentoring the next generation of youth writers, her mission remains clear: to stir hearts, awaken voices, and inspire change one verse at a time.
And on August 9th at the British Council, she returns to the slam stage not just to compete, but to complete something.

When words meet wisdom, and stillness carries fire, you get Be Yunus. A storyteller rooted in real experiences, Be Yunus is more than a performer he’s a presence. Fusing French, journalism, and creative poetry, his performances feel less like recitations and more like revelations. Every verse he delivers is carved from a lived moment, a subtle reflection, or a universal emotion many never knew they shared.
His calm demeanor contrasts the storm he stirs on stage. Influenced by country and reggae music, his style is rhythmic, reflective, and real — a poetic soundscape shaped by both serenity and strength.
On August 9th, 2025 at 6PM, Be Yunus joins the bold at the Ehalakasa National Poetry Slam Prelims, hosted at the British Council. He stands not just to compete, but to connect with you, with the room, with the times.
Come witness a poet who doesn’t raise his voice to be heard he speaks with clarity that cuts through noise.

In a time where truth often flickers behind screens and silence becomes routine, poetry still dares to speak and Ehalakasa dares to listen.
On August 9th, 2025, at exactly 6PM, the Ehalakasa National Poetry Slam Prelims will blaze through the walls of the British Council, turning stage into story, microphone into mission, and word into weapon.
This isn’t just a night of verse it’s a rite of passage. A nation’s most fearless poets will step forward, each bearing a story stitched in struggle, hope, humor, resistance, and raw humanity. This is where Ghana’s boldest voices rise. This is where one poet earns the right to carry our fire to the world.
Backed by the British Council, this event is not merely an artistic competition. It’s a cultural cornerstone part of EHALAKASA’s ongoing commitment to shaping Ghana’s performance poetry ecosystem and aligning it with global excellence.
Whether you’re a slam regular, a curious newcomer, or a cultural enthusiast seeking truth beyond headlines, this is the stage you don’t want to miss.
Because when poets speak, nations listen.
IT LIVES IN US!
