Thierry Metz
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Thierry Metz (1956–1997) was a French poet. He also worked on construction sites as labourer and a mason. Thierry came into the limelight in 1989 when Jean Cussat-Blanc, a Poet published his work. Thierry was able to write and publish while doing odd jobs.[1] Some of Thierry's publications were turned into documentaries. In 1997, Thierry killed himself when he sank into depression and alcohol after his youngest kid was killed by a car.[2]
At the age of 21, Metz moved with his family to Saint-Romain-le-Noble. There he worked as a yard labourer, a mason, and then a farm worker.[1] During intervening periods of unemployment he wrote.
