He Published his first collection, Rediscovery and Other Poems, under His Original Name George in 1964 while a student of The University of Ghana. Those poems Strictly centred on Ewe oral traditions he really knows as a youth. Like One of my Favourite I remember at Secondary School days, goes this way:
My People, I have been somewhere
If I turn here, the rain beats me
If I turn there, the sun burns me
The firewood of this world
Is for only those who can take heart
That is why not all can gather it.
NOTE: Awooner Kofi Williams was born on 13th March, 1935 and died on 21st
September, 2013
FAREWELL TO THE FAMOUS POET OF OUR TIME.
