Caroline Adler Micó Profile Photo

Bio (translated from French to English by Google Translate): After studying audiovisual cinema at the Sorbonne Nouvelle and periodically practicing film photography, Caroline began writing stories and poems while regularly attending jazz and world music concerts. Since 2012, she has regularly participated in collective performances in the Paris region. In 2019, she attended the debut of the Poetic Cabaret Mange tes mots and has regularly participated in their writing workshops ever since. In 2020, during the lockdowns, she responded to their calls for podcasts and began producing audio and then video podcasts. In 2021, she joined the Slam Message Service (aka SMS) collective, where she experimented with many other poetic styles, tinkered with photographic collages, and sometimes highly experimental audio podcasts. In 2022, they published their illustrated poetry anthology, Volume 1, "Lavis de poèmes." A member of the Angora Poets World Café, she has contributed to the journals Bioptic Review and When Women Speak (Newark, New Jersey), as well as L'almanach des 366 poètes (Sela Prod's Almanach des 366 poètes) and Le Mot qui claque: 16 ans de slam (The Word That Slams: 16 Years of Slam) at Xérographes. She co-hosted the En Lignes writing workshops for two seasons with Lignes d'Horizons (Le Havre, Normandy), and two of her poems were included in the recently released 2023-2024 anthology. Caroline regularly participates in international online poetry gatherings. She speaks French (native), Spanish (fluent), English (thanks to online translators), and Italian (a little rusty).
