Biography

Sam T. Cornu is a Franco-English writer, poet and playwright. He has published stories and poems, including “Bruxelles-la-Rousse” (Revue Restes, no. 2), “Poèmes scandinaves (Le Ciel de Copenhague, Archipel vivace, Ce qui fit que tu fus)” (Poetiquetac, no. 8) and “Pénultième soir à Copenhague” (L'Éponge, no. 9). In late 2023 he received the Marcel Prévost Prize at the Jeux Floraux du Jasmin d'argent for his poem “Ma Condottiere”.

In 2025 his play “Sables”, co-created with Camille Protar, was performed at the Festival d'Avignon. The same year, “La Vilenie”, which grew out of research-creation work carried out at Avignon Université in 2023, was published by Éditions L'Harmattan.

Three of his poems (Eaux torrentueuses, eaux obstinées, Les Bienfaits de l’aube, Sa sueur) were also shown in the group exhibition “Raoul Vaslin est vivant !”, held in September 2025 at the Champtoceaux - Orée d’Anjou tourist office.
