Jacques Roubaud

Jacques Roubaud was elected to the Oulipo in 1966. He has written many poems using the trident form, which generally has a syllable count of 5–3–5, one of the many forms made possible by Oulipo’s recalibrating of the haiku.

Jacques Roubaud's work featured in PN Review comprises two contributions of poetry, over a period of 14 years. Also available are one review of Jacques Roubaud's work and one interview with Jacques Roubaud.
