'''Edmond Gojon''' (11 April 1886, in [Philippeville](/source/Skikda), Algeria – 5 April 1935) was a 20th-century French poet and writer.

Originally from [French Algeria](/source/French_Algeria), he went back after his studies at [Lycée Henri-IV](/source/Lyc%C3%A9e_Henri-IV) in Paris. With former schoolmates he founded, in 1903, in Algiers, the magazine ''L’Essor''. He then published, from the following year, collections of poems of [parnassianist](/source/Parnassianism) and [symbolist](/source/Symbolism_(arts)) inspiration. His first collection was noticed by [José-Maria de Heredia](/source/Jos%C3%A9-Maria_de_Heredia). The crowning was ''Le Jardin des dieux'', awarded the [prix Femina](/source/prix_Femina) in 1920. He then left poetry to become the bard of French Algeria (''En Algérie avec les Français'', ''Cent ans d’efforts français en Algérie''...). He then returned to poetry with two last collections: ''Le Marchand de nuages'' (1930) and ''L’Empire de Cérès'' (1933). He is finally known to have adapted ''[J'accuse…!](/source/J'accuse%E2%80%A6!)'' by Émile Zola for [Abel Gance](/source/Abel_Gance), in 1913 - [J'accuse (1919 film)](/source/J'accuse_(1919_film))
