« Roseline Lambert is an award-winning poet in addition to being a trained anthropologist. As such, she belongs to an anthropological tradition that includes Ruth Benedict, Margaret Mead and Edward Sapir, all of whom led a double life as poets (Reichel 2021). Those anthropologists kept their poetry separate from their anthropology, though, whereas Lambert has sought to fuse the two in her ethnographic practice. She is a poet-anthropologist. »
