French
poet Jacques Sivan (1955-2016) invented a poetry freed from codes and conventions of language to reflect the plural complexity of the world. With
Vannina Maestri and
Jean-Michel Espitallier, he created and directed the review
Java. His poetry was published in leading journals of contemporary poetry (
TXT,
Revue de Littérature Générale,
Doc(k)s,
Action poétique,
Res Poetica, etc.). He also collaborated with artists such as filmmaker Marie Poitevin and musician
Cédric Pigot.
