Le Temps des cerises (publisher)

Le Temps des cerises is a French publishing house founded in 1993 by 33 writers.

The name of the house refers to the song Le Temps des cerises by Jean-Baptiste Clément.

[1] It was chosen to "indicate both the attachment to the ideals of the Paris Commune and to a certain tradition of popular poetry, most often obscured".

The house has created numerous series including "101 poèmes", the "Petite bibliothèque de poésie", "Romans des libertés" and "Liberté des romans", the "Petite collection rouge", the "Collection blanche", the series collections "Matière à pensées", "Le Merle moqueur" and "Histoire contemporaine", as well as the "Cahiers Roger Vailland"" and publishes the magazine Commune.

Books have been issued in co-publishing with the "Maison de la poésie Rhône-Alpes", the publishing houses Écrits des forges [fr] and Éditions du Noroît and took over the fund of the Ipomée editions.
