 Poets' A-Z » Jean-Pierre Lemaire

Jean-Pierre Lemaire, born in 1948 in Haute- Savoie, is one of the poets loosely described as ‘new lyricists’, less modernist and more conventional than some of their peers.

A major Catholic poet, he has published five collections over the last fifteen years with Gallimard, the first being L’Exode et la nuée (Gallimard, 1982), and the most recent L’Annonciade (Gallimard, 1997). He was awarded the Grand Prix de poésie de l’Académie française in 1999, for his lifetime work.
