Jean Dominique

Marie Closset was a Belgian poet. She wrote under the name Jean Dominique.

She was born in Brusells and was educated under the system of education developed by Isabelle Gatti de Gamond. She chose to write under a male "nomme de plume" so that her work would be judged on its own merits; the name came from a character in a novel by Eugène Fromentin. Her poems were first published in small literary magazines and later in the Mercure de France.
