Jean Malrieu

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jean Malrieu (29 August 1915, Montauban – 24 April 1976, Montauban) was a 20th-century French poet.

Biography[]

He attended high school in his hometown and then studied law. He was mobilized in 1939. After the war, he practiced various trades, before becoming a teacher. He established friendly relations with the Surrealists and met André Breton on the occasion of the publication of his collection Préface à l'amour in 1953. He collaborated with several publications of the surrealist movement. As a communist militant, he distanced himself from the French Communist Party in 1956 after the Soviet intervention in Hungary. He evolved from a lyrical writing to a drier, sometimes more anguished writing, but always attentive to everyday objects, animals, plants and the earth that carries them. He asserted that poetry "requires rigorous language."

He created the magazines  [fr] (1950–1956, with Gérald Neveu) then Sud (1970), which would continue the action of Les Cahiers du Sud.
