Marie-Claire Bancquart (21 July 1932 – 19 February 2019) was a French poet, essayist, professor emerita and literary critic.[1] She was the recipient of the Grand prix de la Critique littéraire of the Académie Française, the premier authority on matters related to French language and culture, as well as numerous other awards.[2] Her poetry is known for its visceral nature, often exploring the interior of the human body as a means of exploring emotion and humanity.[3]
Bancquart was president of the French arts council La Maison de la Poésie, and a professor emerita of the Université Paris-Sorbonne. Bancquart has been described as one of the most "powerful" voices in contemporary French poetry, drawing comparisons to French poet Charles Baudelaire.[4] In addition to her many volumes of poetry, Bancquart has also published books and essays on subjects such as surrealism and Anatole France.[5]
She was married to French composer Alain Bancquart.[6]
