The idea of “home” is a significant occurrence in postcolonial literature, as it connects to other ideas as identity, nationhood, and culture. This paper discusses “home” in Ghanaian poetry focusing on three well-regarded poets: Kofi Awoonor, Kofi Anyidoho, and Mawuli Adzei. These poets come from the Ewe ethnic group, and engage with the Pan-African project in both their scholarly and creative expressions. Drawing on John Berger, Sara Dessen, and Ewe thought on the afterlife, this paper suggests two major types of “home” in the works of these three poets: the physical, and the metaphysical. Physical “home” refer to the Wheta traditional area, Ghana, Africa and her Diaspora, while the metaphysical refers to tsieʄe or aʋlime the afterlife. The paper also discusses why “home” is significant to these poets and how their portrayal of ‘home’ is a starting point for the next generation of

重温加纳诗歌中的“家”：Awoonor，Anyidoho和Adzei

“家”这个概念在后殖民文学中是一个重要的现象，因为它与身份，民族和文化等其他思想联系在一起。本文讨论了加纳诗歌中的“家”，着重介绍了三位广受好评的诗人：科菲·奥沃纳，科菲·安迪多尼奥和毛武里·阿泽伊。这些诗人来自母羊族，并以其学术和创造性表达参与泛非项目。本文借鉴约翰·伯格（John Berger），萨拉·德森（Sara Dessen）和母羊（Ewe）对来世的思考，在这三位诗人的作品中提出了两种主要的“家”类型：物质的和形而上的。形而上的“家”是指加纳，非洲和她的散居侨民的Wheta传统地区，而形而上的则是指来世的tsieʄe或allime。
