Nicolas Tardy

Nicolas Tardy, a French writer born in 1970, lives in Marseille. After studying art and multimedia, he devoted himself exclusively to poetic writing. This is rooted in a practice of montage that constitutes writing and enables him to integrate a variety of sources, both directly written and collected, considered without hierarchy. The question of representation—notably through ekphrasis, documentary poetry and novelization—is at the heart of his work. He publishes in a variety of print and digital media. Sometimes he collaborates with artists and musicians. He has been running writing workshops since 1999.
