Selected Writings: The Space Within

About this book

A collection from one of the great figures in modern French poetry. This selection is from L’Espace du Dedans , which collected eight books of prose poems, sketches and free verse. Brilliantly translated by Richard Ellmann, Michaux asks readers to join him in a fantastic world of the imagination. It is a world where wry humor plays against horror––where Chaplin meets Kafka––a world of pure and rare invention.
