Toute entière orientée vers l’interrogation du « problème d’être », l’œuvre poétique et picturale d’Henri Michaux associe étroitement corps et savoir, figuration et mouvement. Multipliant les déplacements, les passages, les trajets, elle emprunte la voie des rythmes pour prendre le malheur de vitesse et faire face à « ce qui se dérobe ». Les études réunies dans ce volume sont le fruit des travaux du groupe « Plume » du centre de recherches sur la création poétique de l’ENS de Fontenay/Saint-Cloud. Elles s’intéressent à Michaux moraliste, à son usage du fragment et de l’aphorisme, aussi bien qu’à ses figurations du corps et du sujet. Elles tentent de préciser les rapports que son œuvre entretient, entre autres, avec celle de Cioran, Dubuffet ou Levinas. Au fil de ces études, une trajectoire se dessine qui vérifie les mots du poète : « la poésie avant d’être œuvre est trajet. »

Although the pictorial work of Henri Michaux (1899-1984) has been widely shown over the last three decades, virtually nothing was known about the frottages he made during the Second World War. This is the first book on the subject, and presents the contents of two large sketchbooks which have never been seen before. The child-like technique of frottage can be said to have entered art history in 1925, when Max Ernst began using it in conjunction with other forms of "automatic" writing as part of the Surrealist exploration of the unconscious. It consists of rubbing a pencil against a sheet op paper that has been placed over a rough surface (bark, fabric, leaf, string etc.). The patterns that come through can then be used in a more complex compostion or left as they are. Michaux, who inclined towards frugal techniques, used frottage in order to reveal the "space within". Temperamentally alien to the dogmatism of André Breton, he was driven by a constant thirst for freedom as he created his strange formal universe. His exploration of the "lobe of monsters" (the title of a book of poems published in 1944) is wholly personal, intended simply to exercise his own anxieties. Michaux's works are like "snapshots" of his mind, peopled by familiar guests - plant-like slow worms, frogs and toads, praying mantises and octopuses. This book sheds light on unknown aspects of a medium, but also on some of the monsters that haunted Michaux at a time when everyday life was full of horror.

Henri Michaux defies common critical definition. Critics have compared his work to such diverse artists as Kafka, Goya, Swift, Klee, and Beckett. Allen Ginsberg called Michaux "genius," and Jorge Luis Borges wrote that Michaux's work "is without equal in the literature of our time." This anthology contains substantial selections from almost all of Michaux's major works, most never before published in English, and allows readers to explore the haunting verbal and pictorial landscape of a twentieth-century visionary.
