Pascal Apollon is a poet of pain.

He writes to express his fears and dominate the world.

Poetry is, for him, a place to pause life and its setbacks, a refuge.

A psychologist, Pascal believes that poetry can be used as therapy because, he says, it can strengthen the individual's defense capacities, but also give him a place of intimate expression. 

Already four books published by Pascal Apollon:

(2016),

(2017),

(2018) and

(2021).

Pascal is also a cultural operator in Cap-Haitien.

He is responsible for Communication and Public Relations of the Saturday Night Society, a literary association which has already organized literature festivals (3 editions already carried out) and poetry competitions (the 5th edition is in progress).
