Marc Delouze was born in Paris. He is a poet and traveller “by the force of things”. He debuted with the poetry book Memories of the House of Words (prefaced by Aragon) in 1971. After his initial success, Delouze refrained from publishing for twenty years during which he has worked and researched new methods of poetic expressions connected with modern city life: street performances, poetry with music, etc. In 1982 he created “The Poetry Forum” that organises events, festivals, acoustic exhibitions, readings, etc. In 2000 he created a new festival in Paris (Montmartre) with poets, actors, musicians, dancers, singers, painters, and video artists. Currently Delouze is literary advisor to the poetry festival “Voices of the Mediterranean”, which takes place in Lodève. His latest pulblications include the poetry books T’es beaucoup à te croire tout seul (You’re Many to Believe Yourself Alone; La Passe du Vent, 2000), Epouvantails (Scarecrow; Lanore, 2002) and the essays collection La Diagonale des poètes (The Diagonal of the Poets; La Passe du Vent, 2002).
