Nunc

Nunc was a French journal of creative writing and essays, co-edited by Franck Damour and Réginald Gaillard, published from 2002 to 2021. For twenty years it was among the most important French poetry journals. It was published by Éditions de Corlevour. The journal appeared three times a year, featuring poetry and philosophical, literary, or theological essays. It regularly devoted dossiers to major figures (Pierre Oster, Andreï Tarkovski, Jean-Louis Chrétien, Jean-Luc Marion, Salah Stétié, etc.) or to themes (transgression, beginnings, contemporary music). A journal of reflection and meditation, Nunc also encouraged dialogue and debate. In 2017, the journal created its own literary prizes, awarded to two poetry collections, one in French and one in a foreign language. Its final issue, in spring 2021, was a double number devoted to Argentine poet Antonio Porchia and to Ukraine, 'pivot of Europe'. In his preface, Réginald Gaillard announced the forthcoming creation of a new journal, more focused on political questions: Achille. The journal thus ended definitively with its fifty-first issue, after twenty years.

Nunc was launched in 2002 by Franck Damour and Réginald Gaillard. The first editorial, in 2002, expressed a sense of urgency and a desire to create a space for writers, artists, intellectuals, and creators whose works are nourished by their faith—Christian faith, but not only.
