Isabelle Sbrissa (born 1971 in Geneva) is a Swiss writer, active in the field of poetry and theater. She is considered a representative of the new generation of Swiss poetry. [1]
Sbrissa was born in 1971 in Geneva and currently lives there. [2]
Sbrissa studied at the Institut Littéraire de Bienne. [2]
After a period of time writing plays for theater, Sbrissa became interested in the vocal dimension of poetry. She experiments with different forms of performing poetry by mingling polyphony and the interference of several languages. Her poetry places importance on orality, revisiting canonical forms and translations in a creative way. She often uses translation in an unknown language, thus exploring the musicality of language and emphasizing it over the function of communication.
Her poems mix together different languages, putting forth similarities in their vocal universe, deploying open significations inclining towards a form of singing. [3]

A sonnet is a poetic form that originated in the poetry composed at the Court of the Holy Roman Emperor Frederick II in the Sicilian city of Palermo. The 13th-century poet and notary Giacomo da Lentini is credited with the sonnet's invention, and the Sicilian School of poets who surrounded him then spread the form to the mainland. The earliest sonnets, however, no longer survive in the original Sicilian language, but only after being translated into Tuscan dialect.
