Poet and artist Henri Michaux (1899-1984) was one of the most
original and influential figures of twentieth century French
poetry, hailed by Allen Ginsberg as 'master' and 'genius' and by
Borges as 'without equal in the literature of our time'. In his
vividly strange narratives Michaux creates a dream-like, mercurial
world of wry invention unlike any other, idiosyncratic, resistant
and philosophical. Often dramatic and incantatory in his poetics,
he was also an extremely private person, shunning publicity,
writing as he put it for all those 'suffering from their
imaginations.' In Storms under the Skin Jane Draycott translates
poems and prose-poems from Michaux's volumes 1927-54, including
extracts from his best-loved creations Plume and the haunting realm
of Les Emanglons, alongside poems written on the eve of war in
Europe and during the Occupation.
