Xorlarlie - Poetess (Spoken Word Artist)

Short Profile
I welcome you to meet Nora Xorlarlie Anyidoho, a multi-gifted sister from Ghana. She is a spoken word artist who is deadly in love with art in it complete sense. She is currently a student in the University of Ghana pursuing a BSc. in Administration. She is also the radio host of the popular OPEN AIR THEATRE SHOW; an art show that is aired on radio Univers which is based inside University of Ghana with the frequency of 105.7FM. He belief lies in the power of arts, the power of words. She writes... "Poetry is beauty, and an avenue to express one's thoughts without the fear of being thought weird. Art is Us".

Artist Statement
"My inspiration first of all, comes from God. Secondly, from the need to speak, the need to write. Speak about a canker, a personal bother, speak on anything at all. Thirdly, inspiration may come from other artwork, from nature, from people, conversations, little things". Nora Xorlarlie Anyidoho (2017).

Works
Xorlarlie literally writes on anything and everything at anytime. No particular themes dominates her works. She love music. She seldom writes, but she manages to keep some works on record. Her favorite genre of poetry is performance based, in other words, spoken word poetry. "It allows the writer to share her/his poem not only with words but in rhythm with the audibles flowing soothing the mind and reaching the heart" she said. To Xorlarlie, it must be written just the way it comes, I consider that a great art code...

Social Media
She is not very much a fan of social media because she loves her privacy. But then, she can be connected to on Instagram with the handle below.
