Nicole Cage-Florentiny

Nicole Cage-Florentiny is a poet and novelist, born on 12 September 1965 in Le François, Martinique. She is a teacher of literature and Spanish, a psychotherapist and the founder of the publisher Cimarrón EdiProd.

In her writing Cage-Florentiny addresses contemporary and sometimes taboo subjects in Martinique society; her first novel ''C’est vole que je vole'', is "a novel on madness and massacred childhood". She has also written stories for children, to support the development of their cultural awareness.

She has travelled widely to perform at poetry festivals across the Caribbean, the Americas, Europe and North Africa. Cage-Florentiny regularly produces "pawol ek mizik" shows mixing spoken word, song, dance and visual arts with musical accompaniament. Her writing has been translated into Albanian, English, Arabic, Spanish, Macedonian, Portuguese and Romanian and has appeared in literary magazines in Albania, Macedonia (in the anthology, "Ditët ë Naïmit"), the United States (MaComère, San Francisco Bay View), Lebanon, Romania and Latin America.
