Jason Stoneking is a poet, diarist, and performing artist originally from the

United States, who has made his home in Paris. He has published several collections of poetry and essays, and has also written songs and films. Recently, his practice has concentrated on the creation of handwritten and site-specific texts. For his Bespoke Books series, he writes an entire unique book by hand, in a single draft, either for an individual reader, or in documentation of an event or residency. In his video series Found Stages, he improvises spontaneous poems in spaces that feel suitable, if not intended, for performance. For his newest series, Portrait Sittings, he invites subjects to pose for him as they would for a painter, while he composes their portrait in handwritten words, then presents them with the original manuscript he has drafted during the session.

 

William Walrond Strangmeyer was born in Roanoke, Virginia,

in 1945 and grew up in Brooklyn, New York, and New Brunswick, New Jersey, where he went to Rutgers University, studying classics, music and psychology. He has worked in many different fields including amusement parks, banks, book stores, cinema, door-to-door sales, poker games, restaurants, taxi driving and warehouses. A forty-five-year resident of Paris, he now earns his living as an English language trainer and translator. He is the former co-editor of Upstairs at Duroc. He is the author of several volumes of poetry and can often be heard sharing new work at Spoken Word Paris. Additional interests include a variety of combat sports and listening to old music (doo-wop, Gregorian chant, hippie music, Czerny). He is also Archon of Paris for the Moorish Orthodox Church.
