Stacy Doris Explained

Stacy Doris (May 21, 1962 – January 31, 2012) was a poet who wrote in English^{[1] [2]} and French.^{[3] [4]} Doris used the name "Madame Wiener" or «Sa Femme»^[5] in some of her French work.

Life and work

Stacy Doris was an innovative writer who imparted her “ferocity of living and invention” as she created new worlds of relationships with each book.^{[6] [7] [8]} As a teacher, each semester she would offer deep, exploratory seminars in different topics. For Doris, writing, learning, living and romancing were all in the service of one another.^{[9] [10]}

Doris was influential in bridging the worlds of French and American poetry through her own fictions, as well as in the anthologies she edited. Some examples include The Violence of the White Page (Tyuonyi, 1991),^[11] with Emmanuel Hocquard, Twenty-two New (to North America) French Poets (Raddle Moon, 1997),^[12] with Norma Cole, and from French to English, Quelques-uns de mes contemporains: New American Writers (Java 2001).^[13]

Doris was an associate professor of creative writing at San Francisco State University, where a poetry award has been created in her honour. Her last published works were Fledge: A Phenomenology of Spirit (Nightboat Books, 2013), which she completed shortly before her death, and The Cake Part (Publication Studio, 2011)^[14] of which some 50 poets, film-makers and other artists contributed to making short films for the launch (see Cake Part Virtual Launch).
