Biography Writer Bénézet's literary work is protean. Recognized primarily as one of the most important poets of his generation, he is also the author of numerous essays, texts in prose (mixing creation and reflections) and novels. He questions every discipline he invests. He also develops elegiac, lyrical forms, short or long poems, the dramatic poem, and so on. Never didactic (rather upsetting because upset), his poetry is crossed by his aesthetic or philosophical reflections.

Marqued, a young man, by his meeting with André Breton and Louis Aragon, begun writing works that attempted a synthesis between the two authors literature. These works helped carve a path for his first books to take off and eventually lead him to playing a central role in the 70s and 80s with poets such as Jacques Dupin and Anne-Marie Albiach.
