Works
His first collection was noticed by José-Maria de Heredia. Gojon's Le Jardin des dieux was awarded the Prix Femina in 1920. He then left poetry to become the bard of French Algeria (En Algérie avec les Français, Cent ans d’efforts français en Algérie..). He then returned to poetry with two last collections: Le Marchand de nuages (1930) and L’Empire de Cérès (1933). He is finally known to have adapted J'accuse…! By Émile Zola for Abel Gance, in 1913 (see J'accuse (1919 film)).
