Kathleen Heil is an artist working with languages of the body and written word, whose interdisciplinary practice investigates relationships of meaning production in dance, poetic text and translation.

Her poetry, prose, and translations appear in The New Yorker, The Common, Fence, Diaphanes, The Paris Review, and many other journals. Kathleen Heil is also the translator of The Loveliest Vowel Empties, Meret Oppenheim’s collected poems, and of Sophie Taeuber-Arp’s Letters to Annie and Oskar Müller-Widmann. Supporters of her work and research include the Fonds Darstellende Künste, U.S. National Endowment for the Arts, Berlin Senate, Canton of Geneva, Art Omi, Deutscher Übersetzerfonds, Robert Rauschenberg Foundation, and the Federal Association of Dance in Germany. Originally from New Orleans, since 2015 she lives and works in Berlin.
