Author: Frances Richard

Conference on Marjorie Welish Series
Curated by Aaron Levy, Jean-Michel Rabaté
Published by Slought Foundation (Philadelphia, Pennsylvania)


The word "respondent" in conferences usually means "in response to others' papers" given live although written in advance. By "pre-respondent" we mean something different: a paper in response to work by Marjorie Welish--not work by others--not to be read in public as a free-standing paper yet circulated to the other conference participants in advance. These papers are published online, and subsequently in book format with the papers given live.

Frances Richard is nonfiction editor of the literary journal Fence; a member of the editorial team at Cabinet; and a frequent contributor to Artforum. Her first book of poems, tentatively titled See Through, is forthcoming from Four Way Books in 2003. She currently teaches at NYU and Barnard College, and lives in Brooklyn.
