Rikki Ducornet is an American writer, poet, and artist. Her work has been described as "linguistically explosive and socially relevant," 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."

"Why do people need to have control over the lives of others? Why this fear of the other? This fear of difference — the fear of change — why this fear of our own bodies? Why this inability to accept our own death? What are the connections between those things?"
".. the way I work ... Im really seized by the scruff of the neck each time. ... Something pounces. Its absolutely irresistible and often will pounce at three in the morning ... or at six in the morning ... And I will get up and start writing. ... I really count on novelty and synchronicity and dreams to direct me and to kind of release the energy."
