Dear all, you are invited!
I will be celebrating a lot of writing by others in the coming weeks, but also am touched to be reading along with translators of my own work and to be celebrating my own new publications. So, where to find me, and what events not to miss!
7 Oct 2pm During the Perception and Intermediality conference, Sandrine Wymann and I will present our long series Ecrire l'Art. Then I (Jennifer K Dick) will be READING from "THE ANNEALING" (forthcoming chapbook, Dancing Girl Press) alongside Ecrire l'Art residents Eric Houser and Jérôme Game and followed by a performance by Laura Mullen (visiting US author and translator) MULHOUSE UHA, Campus ILLBERG, FLSH salle Ganjavi at 2pm. Welcome one and all! The Perception and Intermediality From the Renaissance to Now will involve 18 speakers, 3 organizers, many many helping hands and wonderful questions from the audience.

11 Oct 3:33pm. Doors open at 2. Celebrate the launch of this year's collaboratively orchestrated and written and designed chapbook the THREES (3). With the authors-makers of this book and a find 3-ingrediant cocktail to go with! Barbara Beck, Jennifer K Dick, Lisa Pasold and Michelle Notebook invite you to come and pick up a copy of this new DoItYourself Edition work, focused on this year's numeric mystery: THREE. 60 rue des Poissonniers 75018. Ring logement 3 to get in. Bring a bottle or nibble to share! M° Marcadet-Poissonniers
18 Oct 17h IVY Writers Paris has a wonderful late afternoon/early Sunday evening multilingual event in store for you: French author and anglophone scholar and scribbler Olivier Brossard will share some new work from his amazing recent POL publication. Romanian writer Ioana Badicioiu, who is focused on the liminal spaces between English, Italian and Romanian, will be coming here from Italy to share her work with us for the first time in Paris! Finally, well known Libyan-New Yorker Khaled Mattawa on a visit to Montpellier this week as well will be sharing their work and adding into the mix of multilingualism the questions of where memory, culture and narrative intersect. I will be there as organizer and MC, and cannot wait to also close this reading with a little discussion about how cross-lingualism, sound slippages, multiple tongues come to connect and clash in these author's work and minds. CAFE DELAVILLE, 34 bvd Bonne Nouvelle, 75010 Paris M° Bonne Nouvelle For more, see our IVY BLOG HERE
And soon I will begin organizing events to celebrate the recent publication (now out!) of my book SHELF BREAK by Jennifer K Dick (order HERE directly from BlazeVox, NYC, or on Amazon, too). Events are getting scheduled for late fall in PARIS, France, over winter I hope to do an event in Iowa and maybe Chicago, then in the spring I will be reading in Poland, Italy, the Netherlands, England, Germany, France, Brussels and Spain: Next summer I hope to see you on the highways and byways of the states--reading from this and my chapbook The Annealing (forthcoming from Dancing Girl Press, Chicago). And if you want to invite me into your class, your bookstore, your local bar, your living room, please, yes, I would love to come read for and with you!
