Henri Michaux[]

Henri Michaux was a highly idiosyncratic Belgian poet writer and painter who wrote in the French language. 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. Vers les icebergs is an essay on the author of

  • Misérable miracle;[2] it was translated by Louise Varèse into English with the title Miserable Miracle: Mescaline[3]

and

  • Les Grandes Épreuves de l'esprit et les innombrables petites;[4] it was translated by Richard Howard as The Major Ordeals of the Mind and the Countless Minor Ones[5]
