Biography

Weinzaepflen spent her childhood in Alsace and the Central African Republic, studied literature in Strasbourg, and has lived in Paris since 1977. She made many trips to the Middle East (Turkey, Afghanistan, Iran, Pakistan) which, like Africa, permeate her books.

With Christiane Veschambre, she created and co-directed the literary magazine Land (1981-1984). In 1986, her daughter Fanny was born; the father is the painter Michel Potage. From 1990 to 2000, she regularly stayed in Los Angeles, and from 2010 to 2014 in Sydney.

She is a member of the Reading Committee of Flammarion (1991-1993), then a member of the Commission Poésie of the Centre national du livre (2003–2006). She has created writing workshops that she continues to lead (École supérieure des Arts décoratifs de Strasbourg, 1996–2010; École spéciale d'architecture de Paris, since 2004). She regularly collaborates with the CCP (Cahier Critique de Poésie).
