Edmond Gojon

Edmond Gojon (11 April 1886 in Philippeville in Algeria – 5 April 1935) was a 20th-century French poet and writer.

Originally from French Algeria, he went back after his studies at Lycée Henri-IV in Paris. With former schoolmates he founded, in 1903, in Algiers, the magazine L’Essor. He then published, from the following year, collections of poems of parnassianist and symbolist inspiration. His first collection was noticed by José-Maria de Heredia. The crowning was Le Jardin des dieux, awarded the prix Femina in 1920. He then left poetry to become the bard of French Algeria (En Algérie avec les Français, Cent ans d’efforts français en Algérie...). He then returned to poetry with two last collections: Le Marchand de nuages (1930) and L’Empire de Cérès (1933). He is finally known to have adapted J'accuse…! by Émile Zola for Abel Gance, in 1913 - J'accuse (1919 film)

gollark: Or maybe some the people concerned about this are just vaguely transphobic, who knows.
gollark: I assume it's mostly just because it's a more recent issue, and possibly because it's smaller in scope and easier to deal with one than the others.
gollark: That works as a fully general counterargument for literally every problem except the worst one(s) that exist at some time.
gollark: I'm not sure how "some subgroup may end up able to shift the balance of sports rather a lot" is the same problem as "there exist many stupid people in America".
gollark: That seems like just another variation on the "other problems exist, so ignore this potential one" argument.
