The University of Kent Paris School of Arts and Culture is pleased to announce that E. Tracy Grinnell has been appointed to the fourth Paris Writer’s Residency in collaboration with the American University of Paris and the Centre Culturel Irlandais (Irish Arts Centre). We look forward to welcoming her to Paris in October to work with students at both our universities and to join our community of writers.

She translated way by Leslie Scalapino into French (Éditions Corti) along side Isabelle Garron. Her work has appeared in numerous collections and publications, including BAX 2016: Best American Experimental Writing, edited by Charles Bernstein and Tracie Morris (Wesleyan). Grinnell lives in Brooklyn, New York  and is the founding editor and director of Litmus Press.

During the month-long residency Grinnell will be leading workshops at the Paris School of Arts and Culture and the American University of Paris, and giving a public reading at the Centre Culturel Irlandais.
