Author Biography
José Acquelin was born in Montreal. Since 1987, he has published about twenty books of poetry. With Anarchy of Light, he signs a suite in poetic prose, which succeeds his trilogy Critique of the pure horizon. Designer and host of many events mixing poetry and music, his central belief is that every true poem is simultaneously the first and the last, a testament and a declaration of birth.
