He credits himself as a bridge builder, facilitating discourses on several themes and creating platforms for people to thrive and fully exercise their ingenuity. Published as a Contemporary Ghanaian Poet in 2024, his poetry considers themes of time, identity and humanity, as well as a reckoning with self.
Edward ruminates on ways that human beings can communicate with each other in a new world that often overlooks the “little things”. He focuses on intellectual histories, epistemology and anti-colonial thought/practice.
