About

* 11.05.1943, New York, États-Unis
Réside à: San Francisco, États-Unis

The poet Michael Palmer was born in Manhattan, New York in 1943. He is a multi-faceted writer, editor and translator from French, Russian and Portuguese, who has made a name for himself in cross-genre music and theatre projects. He frequently collaborates with musicians and performers; from 1974 he was involved in more than twelve dance theatre projects with Margaret Jenkins. But he has also collaborated with fine artists, including Gerhard Richter.

The Harvard Review has called Palmer one of America’s most important poets. In an interview, he has said about his many-faceted, allusive and at the same time playful writing, “Everything I do seems over time to be a form of collaboration with the voices of poets and other people that are going through me as I work. My ideal of pure collaboration, that is never fully realised, creates a work that belongs neither to its creator nor to anyone else. It’s a work that is, in the words of one of my poems, “neither you nor me”.

Palmer’s first collection of poems was published in 1971. Since then, he has published almost twenty books of poems which have been translated into more than twenty languages. He has received many important prizes, including the America Award for Poetry, the Wallace Stevens Award of the Academy of American Poets, the Shelley Memorial Prize and a fellowship of the Guggenheim Foundation. He has also written essays and radio plays as well as a book of prose. He was a co-editor of the magazine Sulfur.
