Abstract

This essay addresses Mouvements (1952), Saisir (1979) and Par des traits (1984) by the Belgian poet and painter Henri Michaux (1899-1984). Based on an analysis of these books, I propose that the signs that compose them resist both figuration and the usual conventions of verbal language, a phenomenon that goes hand in hand with a particular research to generate a sense of movement and dynamism. As my study demonstrates, the signs of these works display a gestural, corporal and kinetic dimension of writing.
