Poetry. Translated from the French by Cole Swensen, this many-voiced, multi-perspective poetic text could be likened to the journal of a scientist recording observable phenomena, but resisting making any conclusions as to the truth of what is perceived: The sky's grey announces rain/ Wind broke the branches// Your life has been so different from mine (Past Travels). Cadiot lives in Paris where he has edited, with Pierre Alferi, Revue de litterature generale.
