Jean-Michel Espitallier was born on 4th October 1957 in Barcelonette, a small village in the Provençal Alps. While at the University of Aix-en-Provence, he studied literature in the daytime and was a drummer in different rock-bands in the evening. This background is audible in such statements as: “You have to force yourself to keep the readings short (max. 15 minutes), get rid of all that sacred stuff. When you read poetry, you’re not reading a sermon! It’s got much more to do with rock music!” |
