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.[2] Lurçat entrusted him with the creation of a poetic commentary of his art, the tapestry Chant du monde.[3] 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.[4] During his career, Clavel received praise from Robert Sabatier.[5] He also served as Mayor of Arâches-la-Frasse from 1971 to 1983.[6]
Denis Clavel died in Cluses on 24 March 2024, at the age of 81.[7]
