Biography

French poet, translator and editor.

In 1938, he published his first plaquette of poems, "Le voyage immobile", and launched the review "Messages" in 1939.

Jean Lescure became co-director of the clandestine review "Les Lettres françaises" and was one of the founders of the underground organization, the "Comité National des Ecrivains". After the Liberation he was appointed director of Radio France.
