Real friendship, like real poetry, is extremely rare - and precious as a pearl.

My characters are driven by a passionate desire for justice. They are rebellious and incorruptible.

I am a guest of the French language. My poems in French are born of my interaction with the French language, which is not the same as that of a French poet.

I am glad to have found a readership, but one can’t write only what is likely to sell. A writer is not a shopkeeper. A writer creates an imaginary world that he transmits to others.

I write about wounds, the eternal treasons of life. It's not very funny, but it's sincere. My commitment is to sincerity.

Poetry is a form of mathematics, a highly rigorous relationship with words.

Poetry is not only a set of words which are chosen to relate to each other; it is something which goes much further than that to provide a glimpse of our vision of the world.
