Bernard Noël (19 November 1930 – 13 April 2021)[1] was a French writer and poet. He received the Grand Prix national de la poésie (National Grand Prize of Poetry) in 1992 and the Prix Robert Ganzo (Robert Ganzo Prize) in 2010.[2]
His book Le Reste du Voyage [3]was translated into English by Eléna Rivera and published by Graywolf Press in 2011.[4]
Biography
[edit]Noël published his first book of poetry, Les Yeux Chimeres, in 1955.[5] This was followed by the prose poems Extraits du corps (Essence of the body or Extracts from the text) in 1958.[6]
He then waited nine years before publishing his next book, La Face de silence (The Face of Silence, 1967), and eventually the controversial Le Château de Cène (Castle supper, 1969), erotic fiction that has been read as a protest against the war in Algeria.[7] Noël is also known for his artists' books in collaboration with Gérard Serée.[8] He also kept up a correspondence with the Italian poet Nella Nobili when she moved to Paris.[9]
