Exhuming Poet X

Poet X
Poet X died before he could finish his meisterwerk, the book-length poem The Thyroid Process. "I will never finish it," he said from bed, days before his death. "Bring me a glass of claret," he told his wife. "And my laptop."

Poet X liked the space bar, Shift-7, the return key. He liked all the keys. He once lectured: "Sometimes I arrange letters into words, sometimes words into syntactically coherent combinations and sometimes nonsyntactic, incoherent combinations."

He was adored by his students.

If Poet X were alone on a dessert island, would he be covered in sprinkles? Or nuts?

The identifying ranom word is:

Khlhu.

Do not warn H.P. Lovecraft. Or Michel Houellebecq.
