Rikki Ducornet (/ˈrɪki duːkɔːrˈneɪ/; born Erica DeGre; April 19, 1943)[1][2] is an American writer, poet, and artist. Her work has been described as “linguistically explosive and socially relevant,”[3] and praised for “deploy[ing] tactics familiar to the historical avant-garde, including an emphasis on gnosticism, cosmology, diablerie, bestiary, eroticism, and revolution, to produce an astounding body of work, cogent and ethical in its beauty and spirit.”[4]
