Pulchérie Abeme Nkoghe (born 11 December 1980) is a Gabonese poet and children's writer, and president of the Union des Ecrivains Gabonais.
Abeme Nkoghe was born in 1980 in Oyem and attended school in Port-Gentil. She has a degree in business from the Ecole Nationale Supérieure de Secrétariat in Libreville.
Her first published book of poetry was La vie est unbouquet de fleurs (Life is a bunch of flowers), published in 2006. She started to write children's books because she saw the need to encourage Gabonese children's reading and imagination by giving them books in which they could recognise characters like themselves.
She is president of "Jardin du Village", an organisation which aims to empower rural communities in Gabon by encouraging the development of market gardening and animal husbandry.
In 2020, she won the Prix David Diop.
