Amatoritsero "Godwin" Ede is a Nigerian-Canadian poet. He had written under the name "Godwin Ede" but he stopped bearing his Christian first name as a way to protest the xenophobia and racism he noted in Germany, a "Christian" country, and to an extent, to protest Western colonialism in general.^[1] Ede has lived in Canada since 2002, sponsored as a writer-in-exile by PEN Canada. He was a Hindu Monk with the Hare Krishna Movement, and has worked as a Book Editor with a major Nigerian trade publisher, Spectrum Books.

Ede is the publisher and managing editor of Maple Tree Literary Supplement (MTLS).^[2] Between 2005 and 2007 he edited an international online poetry journal, Sentinel Poetry Online.^[3]^[4] He was the 2005–2006 Writer-in-Residence at Carleton University, Ottawa, Canada, under the auspices of PEN Canada's Writer-in-Exile network. He was also a SSHRC Fellow and Doctoral Candidate in English literature at Carleton University, from which he received in his PhD in 2013.^{[citation needed]} His doctoral thesis was titled "The Global Literary Canon and Minor African Literatures," a cultural materialist analysis of the subordination of contemporary African literature to the metropolitan canon. ^{[citation needed]} He has a BA and MA in Postcolonial Anglophone Literatures and German Linguistics from the University of Hanover, Germany.^{[citation needed]}
