James Noël (born in 1978 in Hinche, Haiti) is a poet and singer and a phenomenon on stage. He makes poetic arousal into the highest form of commitment. With more than a dozen books published, Noël is one of Haiti’s most important contemporary writers.
His poems are full of stunning images. Noël says that he writes to free his body from all the words so as to stride forward lighter than paper in time and history.
In his monumental work-in-progress The Migration of Walls, Noël cross-fades politics and metaphor, movements of flight and escape with the breaking away of secure foundations in a modern age in flux and the erection of new walls. It is a work that is poetically and politically highly topical.
Noël’s texts have been set to music by such artists as Wooly Saint-Jean, James Germain, Robenson Auguste and Tamara Suffren. They were performed by Pierre Brisson and the famous singer and entertainer Arthur H. in a show entitled L’Or Noir (Black Gold). Noël has also edited an anthology of contemporary Haitian verse with 73 poets.
Beside many other awards, James Noël has been a fellow of the Villa Medici in Rome. James Noël lives in Port-au-Prince.
