Henri Michaux
Henri Michaux (May 24, 1899 - October 18, 1984) was an important,
highly individualistic French poet, writer and painter who was born
and educated in Belgium. Michaux is best known for his esoteric
books written in a highly accessible style, and his body of work
includes poetry, travelogues, and art criticism. Michaux travelled
widely, tried his hand at several careers, and experimented with
drugs, the latter resulting in two of his most intriguing works,
Miserable Miracle and The Major Ordeals of the Mind and the Countless
Minor Ones.
