In addition to our regular poetry postings, we host a number of special features here at One Ghana, One Voice. These include Favourite Poems (our favourite poems from each year on OGOV, as selected by readers and editors), Special Series (poems devoted to a particular theme), How Poems Work essays (essays on poems that have appeared previously on OGOV, or other Ghanaian poems), and Roundtable Discussions (group discussions among leading poets and organizers on issues relating to Ghanaian poetry).
