Carmine Denis was born in 1998 in Clichy, France. He obtained degrees in philosophy and French language and literature at the Sorbonne University before graduating with a master’s degree in comparative literature in 2021. He lives in the northeastern suburbs of Paris, where he works as a freelance transcriber and translator. His inspirations include medieval literature and modernist poetry as well as jazz and baroque religious music, and architecture both ancient and contemporary: he is particularly interested in paradoxes, imitations, and intersections as a whole. Poetry has been a steady presence in his life since adolescence. He first started writing in French, but quickly began experimenting with English as well as mixing the two languages. His work seeks to explore the frontiers between (and within) language(s), where memory and imagination blur, and mystery grows.
