Henri Droguet's savvy derangements of language call for a super-savvy translator, and found that prestidigitator in Alexander Dickow. With neologisms, internal-intestinal rhymes, arcane diction, a fierce wit, Droguet creates dreamscapes at once linguistically fraught and true to his North Atlantic habitat. His song, he says in "Soliloquy," is "spasm hemorrhage/ epiphanic and black." These are poems of mortal intensity.



Dickow, Alexander: - Alexander Dickow was born in Lexington, Kentucky, and grew up in Moscow, Idaho. He is associate professor of French at Virginia Tech, and a novelist, translator, scholar and poet who writes in French and English. His latest book is Le Premier Souper, a novel published by La Volte in 2021. Forthcoming translations include works by Sylvie Kandé and Max Jacob.

Droguet, Henri: - Henri Droguet was born in 1944 in Cherbourg, Normandy. He studied history and literature at the University of Caen. Until 2004, he taught literature in Saint-Malo, where he has lived since 1972. He has published some dozen collections of poetry, most with Gallimard; the latest, Grandeur nature, was published by Rehauts. He has also published two books of prose; the most recent, with Fario Editions, is called Faisez pas les cons! When he is not reading, he writes; when he is not writing, he gardens, he wanders, he runs to the opera house, he sails from Saint-Malo to Lorient, or else out toward English Cornwall, the Scillies, Ireland.
