Sébastien Lespinasse

Born December 8, 1975 in Marseille.
Lives, sleeps, dreams and works between Toulouse and Montreuil.

Sébastien Lespinasse is a poet who writes with his mouth and ears, attentive to the vibrations of the times and the grain of the voices that run through it. He practices a pneumatic poetry that pierces metaphors, tightly weaves sounds and senses, builds imbalances and brings distances closer.

It’s about opening up spaces in which to think, live and breathe by shifting the logic of sentences and meaning. Touching with language. Becoming improper in a shared exercise in impersonal development.
