Jean-Michel Espitallier

Jean-Michel Espitallier works along constantly renewed modes of action to create new vocabularies and test the limits of language. He is the author of several books including the very controversial Pièces detaches: une anthologie de la poésie française aujourd’hui (2000) and Caisse à outils: un panorama de la poésie française aujourd’hui (2006). His Le Théorème d’Espitallier (2003) was translated into English by Guy Bennett (Espitallier’s Theorem, 2005) while Fantaisie bouchère (2001) was translated by Sherry Brennan (Butcher’s Fantasy, 2003).
