Claude Minière
Claude Minière is an essayist and poet. Initially, he took part in various avant-garde activities before turning towards a more solitary, more classical approach to writing, never forgetting, however, the conquests of Rimbaud, Ezra Pound and free-verse.
Minière was born in Paris. For fifteen years he taught at l’Ecole des Beaux-Arts and is the author of a “panorama” of artistic creativity in France between 1965 and 1996: L’art en France 1965-1995. Together with Margaret Tunstill, he translated two works by Ezra Pound: Henri Gaudier-Brzeska, A Memoir and Treatise on Harmony. In addition to the many collections of his poetry he has produced three remarkable essays : Pound caractère chinois ; Barnett Newman ; and Descartes.
