Roger Gilbert-Lecomte


Born
in Reims, France
May 18, 1907

Died
December 31, 1943

Genre


Poet and co-founder (with René Daumal, Roger Vailland and Josef Šíma) of the artistic group and magazine Le Grand Jeu. The group, associated with surrealists, was "excommunicated" from the movement by André Breton. Gilbert-Lecomte experimented with drugs, in particular morphine, for both artistic and sociological reasons. As was predicted in his poetry, the writer's death was the result of an infection caused from dirty hypodermic needles.

“Life is a fragile hybrid throbbing, at each instant, between being and nothingness.”
Roger Gilbert-Lecomte, The Book is a Ghost: Thoughts and Paroxysms for Going Beyond

“O sun, heart of the heavens whose blood of light
Infuses the vigor which transmutes to azure
The black ice strangler of great space obscure
I hate you, mask of gold, mist and fire, circular
Blind monster blinding all the prey around
You who veil the impure dazzling phantasm
To the loving vertigo of my avid gazes
The visions of the colorless abyss of the void
Reversed hollow truth-mask of the other world.”
Roger Gilbert-Lecomte

“Being Dead means very light housekeeping”
Roger Gilbert-Lecomte, Black Mirror: The Selected Poems
