Werner Lambersy (16 November 1941 – 18 October 2021) was a Belgian poet. Lambersy was born in Antwerp to a Jewish mother and Flemish father. During World War II, his father was involved with the Schutzstaffel and went to prison after the war. Therefore, Lambersy grew up without a father figure in his life. This family background influenced much of his poetic work. Throughout his career, Lambersy wrote nearly seventy books and was considered a major player in French literature. He served as literary attaché for Belgian literature at the Centre Wallonie-Bruxelles de Paris until 2002. He received numerous awards, including the Prix Mallarmé, the Prix Théophile-Gautier, the Prix Maïse-Ploquin-Caunan, and the Prix international de poésie francophone Yvan-Goll. Lambersy died in Paris on 18 October 2021 at the age of 79.
