Yann Rousselot

Yann Rousselot’s poems are characters, twisted mirror-images of their creator, at once atavistically stupid and artificially intelligent. These monsters were born and bred on Planet Pop Culture, raised on a diet of TV tropes, movie clichés, book snippets, and video game storylines. Some have beating hearts, others interlocking mechanical parts. They are forces of human nature, genetically engineered with a single purpose: to herald the apocalypse. Our resident aliens, octosharks, algorithms, mecha-robots, pathogens, and kaiju (to name a few) will be very happy to make your acquaintance.
