Raymond Roussel's Posthumous Poetry Published After Six Decades
Annie Lebrun has edited and annotated the third volume of Raymond Roussel's unpublished works, featuring a long poem titled 'Les Noces'. The publication comes sixty years after the author's death, finally releasing thousands of his youthful verses. Lebrun discusses the delay and also addresses the release of the 'Cahier Roussel' by Michel Leiris. She previously wrote an essay on these verses, 'Vingt mille lieues sous les mots, Raymond Roussel', describing them as versified prose.
