http://www.editions-mf.com/Le traducteur de Kit Schluter,
Sylvain BURGAUD, est né en 1970 près de Lyon. Il découvre très tôt dans l'œuvre de Louise Labbé les richesses facétieuses de la langue française et n'a depuis de cesse de découvrir en autodidacte la puissance de certains écrits par les images qu'ils soulèvent. De culture rabelaisienne et populaire, il gagne sa vie en contribuant à des vins d'exception. Il considère la poésie comme une philosophie et il est convaincu du pouvoir des mots. Il écrit des images pour divers concepts: spectacles de rue, mise en valeur du patrimoine, et il est confidentiellement "écrivain public". Parolier de la troupe "à tour de vers". Il lira ce soir un extrait de "Journals" qu’il a traduit avec l’auteur Kit Schluter.
Sarah LARIVIERE est auteure américaine qui réside actuellement à Paris. Ses écrits ont été publié dans divers revues américaines, notamment FENCE (voir
http://www.fenceportal.org/?page_id=280#t2 ) et Muthafucka2 (voir
http://presspresspress.blogspot.com/2010/05/muthafuckattwo.html). Elle vient de terminer un roman. On peut aussi voir ses photos sur
http://cocopariscocococo.blogspot.com/ . Avant son arrivée en France, elle tenait une émission radio sur WHMP radio à Northampton, MA où elle parlait de l’état de la poésie aux Etats-Unis. Sarah Larivière remplace Michelle Noteboom (qui est actuellement en congé de maternité) comme co-organisatrice pour Ivy Writers’ Paris. Ce soir Sarah Larivière nous lira une sélection de ses poèmes récents.

Kit Schluter’s translator
Sylvain BURGAUD was born in 1970 near Lyon. He discovered early in the works of Louise Labbé the facetious richnesses of the French language and has not stopped since his autodidactic explorations of the power certain written works have because of the images they bring alive. From a rabelaisienne and working class culture, he makes his life by contributing to the making of exceptional wines. He considers poetry as a philosophy and is convinced of words’ power. He has written images for various concepts: street shows to elevating the value of patrimony. He admits to being a public writer, wordsmith for the troup "à tour de vers". He will be reading selections from the book “Journals” he co-translated with the author, Kit Schluter.
