CAPE COAST (MuzicGh) — Ghanaian poet Alex Yeboah, widely known as Kwabena Churchill (MOMC), published new entries throughout February in his 2023 poetry series HOLOFA. This compilation highlights nine poems dated Feb. 1–8, 2023.

The early-February pieces focus on close-up portraits: partners who steady each other, parents who anchor a home and friendships stretched across distance. The February roundup was published on April 3, 2023. HOLOFA ran through the first quarter of 2023 and pairs plain diction with quick, image-rich turns.

Highlights include “Always, Always Your Touch” (Feb. 1), “Mi Amor” (Feb. 2), “Moma and Popa” (Feb. 3), “Pretty Companion” (Feb. 4), and “Bobby’s Library” (Feb. 5). On Feb. 6 he posted two pieces: “Will You Also Be There?” and “Check Your Inbox.” The set continues with “Letter to My Crush” (Feb. 7) and “We Can’t Be Besties” (Feb. 8). Additional February poems appeared later in the month and are not covered here.

Churchill, a psychology student at the University of Cape Coast, later collected spoken-word work in The Smilex Album (July 2023), shifting from private tenderness toward resilience and self-belief while keeping his direct, audience-address style.

Audience interaction helped shape the series. “God bless you… You made this series alive and I am grateful for your time and support,” he wrote in an Instagram thank-you post marking the end of HOLOFA.

Ghana’s campus and social-media poetry scenes have expanded in recent years, with serial online releases and short performance clips feeding readership. Churchill’s blend of page poems and spoken-word videos fits that pattern, drawing readers from brief clips to longer texts.

New readers can start with the Feb. 1–8 set, then explore the later February pieces and subsequent performance work.
