Notable critical praise for Okoampa-Ahoofe's poetry
"Kwame Okoampa-Ahoofe is a poet whose aunt once aptly called him a 'son of drums.' Poetry is his drum, on which he beats contrapuntal polyrhythms of praise and criticism, joyous celebration and bitter defeat, sexual exultation and existential despair. His poems are passionate in the fullest sense of the word...like sheet music for percussion"
--Bobbie Kramer, literary critic and scholar.
