Roger Gilbert-Lecomte (1907-1943) is considered one of the eminent poets of the Surrealist period. The visionary, sardonic, and often outrageous poems in this bilingual edition represent the first presentation of his work in English. With Ren Daumal he was the founder of the literary movement and magazine `Le Grand Jeu`, the essence of which he defined as `the impersonal instant of eternity in emptiness`. `The glimpse of eternity in the void`, writes Rattray in the Introduction, `was to send Daumal to Hinduism, the study of Yoga philosophy, and Sanskrit. It sent Lecomte on an exploration of what he called a metaphysics of absence`. Rattray, a poet acclaimed for his translations of Artaud, keeps intact the power and originality of Gilbert-Lecomte`s work.
