(éd. l'Harmattan, 2014), novels (Le Goûteur, éd. Abatos, 2016 and Le croque-neige, éd. l'Harmattan, 2017) as well as collections of poems (Poetry of street & interior, ed.

He is also the co-founder of two associations: Les Hôtels Solidaires which redistributes foodstuffs to the most disadvantaged, and which was awarded in 2020 during the Social and Solidarity Economy trophies; as well as the association NOW whose goal is to support oppressed minorities around the world.
