This year's version of the Annual World Poetry day has not been the same due to the spread of the coronavirus pandemic.

JoyNews caught up with two student performers on the University of Ghana Legon Campus who say the pandemic is having a major influence on their social lives including literary arts.
Watch their interaction with JoyNews' Piesie Nana-Yaw Safo in the video below
