Paul Akakpo Typamm

Paul Akakpo Typamm was born on 14 October 1916 and made his career as a schoolteacher. His first collection appeared in 1958 in Paris, which makes him, for the literary histories of his country, the first Togolese poet writing in French; his verse, nourished by négritude, sings of the native soil. He also contributed poems to collective volumes, including an anthology published in Lomé in 1982 with Richard Dogbeh and Ayité Manko. Neither the date nor the place of his death is known.
