"As though I needed to slow down what in real life happens too fast to be formalised".
Christophe Lamiot Enos was born in Normandy in 1962. In 1981 he suffered a serious accident, which changed the course of his life. He resumed his English language studies, eventually producing a thesis that led him to the USA where he spent 14 years, first in California and then in Princeton, New Jersey. It was there that he went back over his Californian experience, his love of California, the sensations of memory to which he attempted to give concrete expression. Since returning to Europe, he has published three volumes of poems and participated in various literary reviews and events. Albany is the last in a long narrative anthology: Apples and Oranges, California, a book written in one year almost ten years ago, contains memories from the time before; he takes HIS time. The first part appeared in 2000 in the collection Poetry / Flammarion. California – Apples and Oranges – I.
His work in front of the page, putting into words that which has not yet been articulated or celebrated, aims to produce a better sense of well-being, seen as an attempt to give substance to an experience lived through and find its meaning (the reason for a memory, the method of the everyday, the contours of an emotional experience or a powerful sensation, for example). As a trainer of trainers at the IUFM of the Académie de Rouen in Évreux, he dedicates his research to the fundamental relations between poetry and education through “rediscovering the pleasures of writing” and through “an introduction to contemporary poetry".
