I am Fredua-Agyeman Nana from Ghana. I have lived in Suhum a town about eighty kilometres from the capital, Accra, for all the twenty-five years I have been in this world with the exception of the time I spent pursuing higher learning. I attended Star of Suhum International School from kindergarten to the Junior Secondary School and continued to Adisadel College, in Cape Coast, to read science—a continuation that began the break in my long stay in Suhum. From there I moved to the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology, Kumasi, to study Agriculture. I completed in July 2003 with a Bsc. (Hons) Agric first class from the Faculty of Agriculture. Though I was offering science at senior secondary school, I was paired up with students who were offering literature and wanting to be universally literate began asking them many questions in their field. Hence it came not as a surprise to me when I discovered my keen interest in literature—basically, poetry and prose—just after my senior secondary education. I started reading any book my hand would get hold of—both literary and non-literary and writing anything that comes to my mind (after all, whoever loved that loved not at first sight—Marlowe). Some of my articles were published in a local entertainment newspaper Graphic Showbiz. To this point I have two unpublished collection of my poems: Tot of (My) thoughts and ImageNation. Some of my poems have been published in a London-based Ghanaian newspaper Ghana Today. My admirers include Pope, Keats, Dryden and Donne on the non-African scene whilst on the African soil I admire Kofi Anyidoho, Atukwei Okai, Ali Mazuri, Wole Soyinka, Immomotime and many others. I aspire to move from being an amateur poet to a professional poet. |
