John Jack Jackie (Edward) Cooper is the creator of These Are Aphorithms hhttp://aphorithms.blogspot.com), author of Ten (Poets Wear Prada, 2012), and Ten … more (Poets Wear Prada, 2016), the last, perhaps appropriately, having been selected for the collections of ten university libraries: in the United States, Canada, Spain, and Vietnam. His American English translation of Wax Women, with French texts of the original poems by Jean-Pierre Lemesle andphotographs by Henry Jacobs (International Art Office: Paris, 1985), drew acclaim and dedicated ful-window display from the Gotham Book Mart in New York — legendary fishing hole to the “wise” when released in the United Statesthe following year. His work has appeared widely, in print and online. “Slouching Toward Bushwick,” a collection of his Brooklyn poems, is due out next year. Off the page, he made his screen debut as an extra in a film by Rudy Burckhardtstarring Taylor Mead; thence, in a supporting role, as a heroic bartender in The Last Deal (Joseph Guida). He portrayed a sleazy Southern lawyer in Gordon Gilbert’s Tales from the Old Folks Home, a series of monologues reprised at various New York venues many times; appears in Anthony Donovan’s Good Thinking, Those Who’ve Tried to Halt Nuclear Weapons, named Best Documentary at the Toronto Film Festival in 2015, and, most recently, Coldhearts: A Poetical (Part One), in the music video I Love Paris, like the full-length soon-to-be-released full-length “The Salami Asylum” (a role he performed with his eyes closed), dramatization of a poem by Rufo Quintavalle, directed by Bruce Edward Sherfield. Interviewed, by poets Joshua Corwin, for his Assiduous Dust Podcast, and Rufo Quintavalle, for the Rooms of Revelation series, forthcoming from Unknown Light Productions, he has been featured at readings in New York, Paris, and Berlin.
