Born in 1965, Vincent Tholomé often describes himself as a writer-performer. As a writer, he has authored some fifteen books that blend poetry and fiction, spoken language, and the ancient art of “racontouze.” Since the mid-1990s, he has published regularly in magazines and online. As a performer, he has appeared—solo, in duos, and in other formats—all over the world (France, Belgium, Hungary, Germany, Quebec, and the U.S.). In 2011, The John Cage Experiences received the Triennial Poetry Prize from the Wallonia-Brussels Federation.
