Alain Raimbault was born in Paris in 1966. He lived in Acadie, in Nova Scotia for 13 years, and has lived in Quebec since 2011. He is a teacher by trade and a poet at heart. He has published over twenty books for young people, novels and short stories in the general literature genre. Terminus ventre-ville is his fifth poetry collection. Between teaching and literature, he likes to photograph people and their city, as light is his other favourite form of writing.
