Pierre-Edgar Moundjegou

Pierre-Edgar Moundjegou, who also published under a pen name, was born in 1943 in Gabon and belonged to the generation of Gabonese poets of the 1970s. Lyricist for the singer Pierre Claver Akendengué, he was counted among the prominent poets of his generation and claimed Nietzsche as an influence; a second collection followed in 1987. At the end of his life, having joined a Christian revival movement, he distanced himself from his work. He died in 2011, or in 2002 according to other sources.
