Pierre Lepère
"A renowned novelist and poet published by the most prestigious publishers, he may doubt his talent. You, however, will have no doubt after reading this collection, this bounding cascade that carries stones and precious stones. Because it is writing born of instinct, but since Pierre Lepère is a cultured man who perfectly masters our language, his poems possess a consummate beauty from the very first draft. Sometimes reminiscent of Gérard de Nerval. 'I heard your voice calling me like an echo - And I saw shining in your soul a chalice - From which we had drunk, born of the same torment - While the walls of Jericho crumbled.' Pierre Lepère, an endearing person, a poet, a true one!" Robert Notenboom. Pierre Lepère is a poet, essayist, and novelist. He is the author of some thirty books.
The Ball of the Absent
To borrow a title from Raymond Queneau, these short stories evoke "The Fatal Moment" which the characters unexpectedly face. They are men and women who remain on the margins of their lives.
Written in the sand
Pierre Lepère's new collection "Written on the sand" deals with three major themes: the poetic experience in the spiritual and carnal sense, the art of loving in old age, and the air of this motionless time whose echoes coincide with the seclusion where the poet has finally found his deepest freedom.
