Emmanuel Echivard

French writer and poet born in 1975, he also teaches literature in preparatory classes and at Sciences Po in Reims. He published his first poetry collection, La Trace d’une visite, in 2016 with Cheyne éditeur, followed by Avec l’ombre in 2019. He is also the co-director of the prose poetry collection “Grands Fonds” at the same publishing house. The epic journey of Ulysses returning to Ithaca—which lends its name to the Memo Paris fragrance—inspires him to write a piece that feels like a return to the earth and its treasures.
