Pro(M)Bois(E)

Some celebrities detail their own wardrobe. Thibault Raoult's works like a failed rocket scientist turned aesthete warming up to detail the entirety of his brain. Too casually brilliant to sound like nonsense, Raoult's poems are also too brilliant, and too far out there, to resemble any poems we have seen yet on this planet. We overhear observations about characters with names like "Pro" and "Etna" from deep back in the lyric-analytic channels of the brain, stuff we never get to hear in the public life because we no one articulate it... When I first read Raoult's poems ten years ago, I thought he was an old man from some obscure trajectory of the French avant-garde, not a kid in his twenties from Rochester, New York. But nowadays he's a man in space, with the mouth of a slap-happy oracle sending messages back to us: "When two worlds flare in a stranger/They say fossils will take over New Boise,/Assume anything." - Matthew Henriksen
