Born in 1971 in Paris, he lives there.
In the space of a few years, writer Jérôme Game has established himself as a voice that is as essential as it is singular on the contemporary poetry scene. Taking a materialist approach to language, his writing comes close to sound poetry, with texts drawing on everyday and technical forms of language, using superimposition and ellipsis to create effects of stammering, precipitation and conflation. For the Printemps de Septembre he is making a public recording of himself reading a new text in the Alain Bublex module. The recording will then be played as a sound piece during the remainder of the festival.
