* 22.10.1955, Kentfield, Združene države Amerike
živi v: Washington DC and Paris, Združene države Amerike

Cole Swensen (b. 1955 in Kentfield, USA) divides her time between Iowa, Washington DC and Paris. She works as a writer, translator and editor and teaches Creative Writing at the University of Iowa. Her own press, La Presse, publishes French poetry in English translation.

Cole Swensen's poetry, which, historically speaking, is grouped with Post-Language Poetry, is a reflective, erudite, and at the same time liguistically sensuous art, which draws on both American and French traditions of poetry and art. Her 'serial poems' are sequences of texts with very closely-woven motifs running through them which can deal as much with landscape gardens as with ghost stories.

Swensen has published more than ten collections of poetry in the USA to date, which have garnered awards such as the Sun & Moon’s New American Writing Award, the Iowa Poetry Prize, the San Francisco State Poetry Center Book Award, and two Pushcart Prizes. Her collection “Goest” (Alice James Books, 2004) was a finalist for the National Book Award. Her translations from French have also won awards, such as the PEN USA Literary Award for Translation 2004.

Cole Swensen has been called by Library Journal 'one of the most convincing voices in contemporary poetry'.
