Biography
Biography
Born in Annecy on 22 June 1942, Clavel met Jean Lurçat in 1963, during his first publication of poetry at the Château d'Annecy. Lurçat entrusted him with the creation of a poetic commentary of his art, the tapestry Chant du monde. His following collections were primarily edited by Guy Chambelland and he maintained significant correspondence with Pierre Emmanuel and Georges Haldas. In 1992, Haldas dedicated a poem to him in the collection La Blessure essentielle. During his career, Clavel received praise from Robert Sabatier. He also served as Mayor of Arâches-la-Frasse from 1971 to 1983. Denis Clavel died in Cluses on 24 March 2024, at the age of 81.
