Michaux's Early Works Reissued in Pléiade Edition
Henri Michaux, alongside François Villon and Arthur Rimbaud, is among the poets most appreciated by very young readers. From his earliest writings, Michaux demonstrated full command of his craft, with impressive mastery of language, a revolt fueled by readings of mystics and great Catholic fulminators, a taste for painting and music, and a perception that the link between writing and voice had been broken. The reissue of his works from 1922 to 1946 in the Pléiade collection fully demonstrates this.
