Jean-Jacques Fournier started writing in earnest, while living in California in the early eighties. In the process of reinventing himself numerous times, his penchant for the language of poetry seemed best suited to express emotional experiences. He then spent several years pursuing his writing in the south of France, during whichtime he published his first three books. He has since moved back to Canada, and is now living in the Eastern Townships of the province of Quebec, with his French wife Marianne. He has published fourteen books of poetry to date, this being his fifteenth.
