Charline Lambert

Charline Lambert was born in 1989 in Liège, Belgium. She is the author of five books of poetry: Chanvre et lierre (“Hemp and Ivy,” Éditions Le Taillis Pré, 2016), Sous dialyses (“Dialyzing,” Éditions L’Âge d’Homme, 2016), Désincarcération (“Decarceration,” Éditions L’Âge d’Homme, 2017), and Une salve (“A Salvo,” Éditions L’Âge d’Homme, 2020), Quiconques (“Whoevers,” Éditions Le Chat polaire, 2023). Before its publication in 2016, the manuscript of Chanvre et lierre was awarded the Georges Lockem Prize in 2014 from the Royal Academy of the French Language and Literature of Belgium and the Geneviève Grand’Ry Prize in 2015 from the Belgian Writers Association. The book subsequently won the First Book Prize in 2017 from the Wallonia-Brussels Federation. In 2020, following upon the publication of her fourth book, Une salve, Charline Lambert was awarded—for her first four books—the Literature Prize from the Société Civile des Auteurs Multimédia (SCAM) and, in 2021, the Fintro Prize. In 2023, the Éditions Les Impressions Nouvelles published her first book-length essay, devoted to “Doctor Strange,” the character of American comic books published by Marvel Comics: Docteur Strange, les mains et l’esprit. Her first two poetry books have been republished in the Espace Nord series, devoted to classics and essential contemporary works of Belgian francophone literature. As of 2024, Lambert is finishing her Ph.D. thesis on the relation between poetry and deafness.
