“The poet Roland Lagoutte likes to ride words. Lyrical, surreal, intense, light, in love, it follows an emotion, the words emerge like a look that is surprised by what it sees. Roland is a rhyme-enhancer, a word-shaker, a muse-deliverer. Builder of dew, his cathedral is a celebration of verse and light.”

“For Eric Dabancourt, the line is the driving force. It carries with it a line, a series of points linked together, naturally, from seduction to seduction. And what happens to this trait? What can happen in the adversity of chance, of white paper, of the capricious movement of the hand? Yet it becomes. Eric’s work reflects this subtle, skillful, unique and singular metamorphosis.”
