Yes, I am going to be present doing a little reading in French and in English this weekend, then the 30th and the 1st of July. I hope if you are free you will come along!TOMORROW: the 20th of June from 15-17h :

The event is on the theme of “Du poétique à la poésie”
AT : Café de la Mairie,
8, place Saint-Sulpice,
Paris 6e,
M° Saint-Sulpice.
Then, after we have all recovered from the bulimic poetic experience of the marché de la poésie with a week off, there will be an event I am participating in on the 30th of June to celebrate a very beautiful publication reflecting on women's poetry from the 19th century to today: VOI(ES)X DE L'AUTRE
The evening will include a talk and discussion with the editors followed by a reading: 30 juin : 17h-19h : Camille Aubade et Patricia Godi présenteront « Voi(es)x de l'autre » sur les poésies écrites par des femmes--et les poètes Marielle Anselmo, Jennifer K Dick, Marie Etienne et Marylin Hacker (click on the names of the poets to go to some bio pages for them) liront leurs textes en conjonction avec cette présentation-discussion autour du livre. Venez écouter ces poètes lire, à cette occasion, des extraits de leurs textes contenus dans l'anthologie ainsi que des extraits d'autres livres! AT Librairie Wallonie-Bruxelles: 46 rue Quincampoix, 75003 Paris, M° Rambuteau or RER Les Halles (sortie: Pompidou)
Finally, I will be reading the English translations completed by Christophe Marchand-Kiss of the poems by Michaël Batalla to celebrate the bilingual artbook publication
"Autour/Around" Details of the exact venue will be added here, but you can peruse pictures from the book on Fougeirl's site at http://www.benoitfougeirol.com/photos2.php?r=paysages&c=autour--around&p=serie-1&img=18-bf.
