This seems to be a hoax - credit to
Calamondin12 for tagging it. No sources provided, none found except mirrors. He is not known to Worldcat or to Google Books or Scholar. Searches find other people of the same name, such as the subject of the French article
fr:Manfred Jung, but no trace of a French poet. His name does appear in
this book about French poets, but it is one of those "books" of recycled WP articles, so just another mirror. If he existed at all, he is certainly not
notable. The article author,
Schwahn (
talk·contribs) edited only on a few days in 2008; their other article
Nihil Pop Organization is also
at AfD as a hoax.

Delete. Appears to be a hoax. No references to this writer with his supposed work, Instructions, has been found. For someone who supposedly had work published in French and German periodicals, and has a reputation "growing more and more in the world of French poetry" for 15 years, the absence of evidence is telling. A couple of references to "Consuela Wittmann" appear on since-deleted pages on
Vimeo and YouTube, listing Consuela Wittmann as a supposed poet who died in 1942 and the aunt of a "Pieyre Wittmann." The latter appears to be an obscure performer or band with a supposed work titled "Oisals," also the name of the removed Vimeo video. Given the total lack of other evidence, it's tempting to believe this article may be a hoax designed to provide a backstory for some kind of project (perhaps a music video?).
