Biography

Retired from the civil services, she is the vice president of a French literary association, registered in La Rochelle under the name “Larochellivre”. In this role, she organises literary meetings in the Charente Maritime as well as events such as "The Poets' Spring Time" and the “Salon of Poetry Works” in La Rochelle. Josyane de Jesus Bergey is a close friend of Jean Bouhier who founded the poetic movement of the school of Rochefort “l´Ecole de Rochefort” with Pierre Pernon in 1941 and, in 1991, she was the initiator of the foundation at Vesdun (Cher) of the "Forest of one thousand Poets" where the poets of 85 nations are represented by an oak tree. Each tree being dedicated to a creator of a commemorative site of this school where Jean Bouhier can be found amongst others.

Influenced by the culture of Mediterranean peoples, several poems of De Jesus Bergey are dedicated to the Arab nations such as the Palestinian Mahmoud Darwish and the Algerian Mohamed Dib. Other texts are translated into English by Angela Serna, and in Portuguese by Ruth Motta.
