Author of the Month: Edusei Derkyi

...

Writers Project of Ghana returns from our annual break with our monthly public readings, which we organise in collaboration with our partners, Goethe-Institut Ghana. The series, now in its 10th year, provides an opportunity for writers to engage with an audience for an hour of interactive readings and discussions.

For the first event this year, we present Edusei Derkyi as our author for the month of March. He will read from his latest novel, Kwansema's Choice, which is a sequel to Aboakyer -- The Hunt of the Efutu People.

Edusei Derkyi is a retired bank executive and author of a series of historical novels, poems, and science adventure books for children. His books include Yaaba -- A Day in the Life of an African Girl Child, the series Adventures of Hurricane and Tornado and Ramblings of My Mind – An anthology of 45 Life Poems.

Edusei Derkyi is a music enthusiast and his writing usually includes songs to reflect the pivotal role music plays in the everyday life of the African. He is a past President of the Rotary Club of Accra-North and an elected Fellow of the Commonwealth Hall of the University of Ghana. He was Advisor on Africa to the International Federation for Choral Music (IFCM), and chairman of the Constitution Review Committee of the Ghana Association of Writers (GAW) and a member of its Advisory Board.
