His essays on contemporary poetics have appeared in Telling it Slant & We Who Love to Be Astonished, two books published by the University of Alabama Press. His 25 stage & radio plays have been produced widely, & he is the recipient of a Dramalogue Award. His plays are published in three collections: Mouth of Shadows, The Sound of Fear Clapping, & Poets’ Theater. His screenplay, “Irreparable Damage” has been optioned to be made into a feature-length film in Vienna. His most recent screenplay “Ghost Within” is set in rural central Pennsylvania. His CD, Black Light, contains 2 radio plays produced for National Public Radio, recently aired in Paris on AUP radio. Podcast version available on cosyfunparis at Itunes & at pennsound: http://writing.upenn.edu/pennsound/x/Borkhuis.html He is the former editor of Theater:Ex, an experimental theater publication. For the last 16 years, he has curated poetry readings for the Segue Foundation, most recently at Bowery Poetry Club in Manhattan. In an essay NEWSENSE: ANTI-MANIFESTO available online, Borkhuis writes “As poets, it is up to us to infiltrate poetic speech into our conversations and see where that experiment takes us. I propose the umbrella term Newsense to refer to poetic conversation that need not adhere to the old-sense demands of coherent sentence structure or, for that matter, rational sense-making.” Read sections from Afterimage online with Big Bridge review at http://www.bigbridge.org/bigcborkhuis.htm

Franck André Jamme is a specialist of art brut, as well as tantric and tribal arts from contemporary India.

As concerns his own work, since 1981 Franck André Jamme has published 13 poetry collections & collections of fragments with publishers in France such as Fata Morgana, Les editions Unes, Melville, Virgile & Flammarion. He has also published a variety of art or artist illustrated works (for example with works by Suzan Frecon, Jaume Plensa or James Brown). He’s also a translator, in particular of John Ashbery, and four of his own works have been translated into English (at Black Square/ Brooklyn Rail or Sélavy Press) including "The Recitation of Forgetting” which was in turn translated by Ashberry. A 5th book will appear in English at the end of 2008 with Wave Books. To celebrate his life’s work, he received, in 2005, the « Grand Prix de Poésie de la Société des Gens de Lettres » &, in 2006, the « Prix quinquennal Fondation de l'Académie Française ».
