Jean Sénac

Jean Sénac Jean Sénac (1926-1973) Born of an unknown father in Béni-Saf in the Oran region of Algeria, the "poet who signed with a sun", was murdered in Algiers on August 30, 1973. His murder remains unsolved. Was Sénac Algerian or French? Definitely Algerian if the fact that he strongly claimed Algerian nationality is taken into consideration. His poems were a song of revolution in which he placed all his hope that it would create a world of beauty and brotherhood in an Algeria open to all cultures. To this quest he linked his own battles: a profound search for identity, both personal and cultural, and his struggle to make others accept his homosexuality: "This poor body also/ Wants its war of independence". Sénac was a great admirer of Gérard de Nerval, Arthur Rimbaud, Antonin Artaud and Jean Genêt.
