Career
Jennifer K Dick has been classified as a post-L=A=North=G=U=A=G=East school poet with a strong background in lyric and narrative tradition. She has taught American Literature, Creative Writing, and English. Dick also holds a Master of Fine Arts in poetry from Colorado State University where she worked with Laura Mullen.
In 1993, Jennifer K Dick moved to France for the first time, but it was only after returning to Paris following her Master of Fine Arts in 1999 that Dick became involved with a young North American writing scene.
In 1999, Dick became editor-in-chief for the Paris-based international literature and arts review Upstairs at Duroc (issues 2-6). At this time, Dick met American poet and translator Michelle Noteboom (author of Edging, Cracked Slab, 2005).
Vance, Noteboom, Beck and Dick formed a four-voice poetry performance group called "Quadriphonics" which drew a full house at each of its events. In 2005, Dick and Noteboom co-founded IVY Writers series in Paris Ivy Writers promotes exchange between authors from France and primarily the United States of America with monthly readings for the public.
These performances bring together prominent poets from various countries who work primarily in an experimental vein of writing.
