Born in 1952 in Brockton, Massachusetts, Richard Krawiec became known in 1986 with Dandy ( Time Sharing in English), which was critically acclaimed. In 1996, he wrote a second novel, Faith in What? and has since devoted himself to poetry, theater, his columns in various East Coast magazines and teaching. His third novel Vulnérables, was published in France by Tusitala in 2017, and was a great critical success. Also in France, the rights to  Dandy  were purchased for the cinema. Paria , his third novel to be published in France, was released in January 2020. This was followed by Les Paralyses in 2022 and  Croire en quoi ? in September 2024, which saw Richard invited back to France for a tour. Richard Krawiec is also an editor in the Jacar Press collective ( www.jacarpress.com ), a community active poetry publishing house that defends local social initiatives. He was one of the first to give writing classes and lead workshops in homeless shelters, prisons or deprived cities, guided by the concern, as in his novels, to give a voice to those who no longer have one. His own poetry has been published in dozens of journals internationally. He has been awarded grants from the National Endowment for the Arts and elsewhere.– Live performance in English of Croire en Quoi?
