TWO POEMS. It is not easy to label or situate Quatrebarbes’ poetry.

Most striking is her resolutely experimental approach, her tendency

towards estrangement and her powerfully developed use of form. Those

characteristics might be related to her studies at several Paris art

schools, but in any case, her poetry bears both traces of Gilles Deleuze’s

theory and Marcel Duchamp’s art, of fairy tales and nursery rhymes, of

the language of women’s magazines and Internet speech.
