Olivier Cadiot

In 1995 and 1996, Cadiot coedited the Revue de Littérature générale with Pierre Alferi. He has given numerous performances and public readings, and most of his work has been adapted to the theater. In 2010, Cadiot was Artistic Associate for the Festival d'Avignon. He also works with musicians and composers, including Pascal Dusapin, with whom he created Il-li-ko and the opera Romeo et Juliette, and the French rock musician Rodolphe Burger.

Some of Cadiot’s works have been translated into English, such as Red, Green & Black, which he co-translated with Charles Bernstein, and Art Poetic’ and Colonel Zoo, translated by Cole Swensen. His poetry also has appeared in various American magazines, such as ‘Serie d'Ecriture #7’, published by Keith Waldrop and Rosemary Waldrop's Burning Deck Press. Bibliography
