After his dissertation on William of Ockham, Alféri began to primarily write poetry.[4] Alféri was also a literary translator who has translated works by John Donne, Giorgio Agamben and Meyer Schapiro from English and Russian into French.[5] He had also written songs for several performing artists including Jeanne Balibar. Between 1991 and 1992, Alféri was writer-in-residence at the Fondation Royaumont, and at the French Academy in Rome between 1987 and 1988.[citation needed]
