This is a temporary landing page. I've put my old website offline while I remodel it.
In the meantime, you can:

- check out my (slightly lethargic) meme page
Right now I'm mostly working on my first novel.
I'm also a translator, from French to English and vice-versa.
I'm happy to have published in journals and websites such as Sabir, AOC, Revue If, Revue Sève, Traversée, Un Rectangle Quelconque, etc.; and have had the honor of performing or showing work at events such as Festival Extra at the Centre Pompidou in Paris, at the Centre Wallonie-Bruxelles in Paris, for transmediale in Berlin, at the Backslash Festival in Zurich, at Et Caetera at La Bellone, at the Maison Poème, or at KL-8 in Brussels, etc.
