: About Me

 Originally from France. I now live in the rural Midwest, where i write non fiction in English, but still occasionally scribble poems in French, the two sources being quite distinct, i do not interfere with the natural spontaneous process.

Much of my prose and poetry has been anthologized and published on both sides of the Atlantic: online and in print, on radio and on CDs. in lectures and workshops or performance programs, i have enjoyed the privilege of essential communication.

I depict my experience, emigrating to the western deserts. Isolation and survival being the impetus which propels this book project. Roadkill and Rattlesnakes, could be a working title.

I also collate a series of vignettes about French food around the tables of ordinary people who live in the details, following the evolution of progress upon quotidian sustenance.

Being raised in an ancient city, i have felt connected to history, but spending all vacations in my ancestral village gave me a deeper perspective, a grounded respect for sustainability, this aspect of my upbringing informs my ecological and economical behavior.

Although my creative writing has been disseminated throughout the web via social media, i am by nature a reclusive writer, intent on completing current collections of essays and poetic, works.

Many unknowns still await public scrutiny; most urgently the stability of the tragic carcass laying on starboard side a few meters from Isola del Giglio, where the captain of the ship had plans to impress the local population with a spectacular close up of an "inchino" a ship to shore salute in honor and favor to a staff me...
