Henri Michaux: Information from Answers.com

As his translator put it in Darkness Moves, the most comprehensive Michaux anthology in English, his poems are "messages from his inner space." That space may be transformed by drugs as in Miserable Miracle or by terrifying vision, as in "Space of the Shadows" (in Darkness Moves) but the "messages" from it are always as clear and concrete as possible.
. . .
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.
. . .
The result of this trip is the book A Barbarian in Asia.

Throughout 1920 and into 1921, he traveled throughout the world, visiting the ports of Bremen, Savannah, Norfolk, Newport News, Rio de Janeiro, Buenos Aires, New York.
. . .
But in 1954, he published one of his major works, Face aux verrous (Facing the Locks), which contained a long prose poem on the death of his wife and several works that, in their hallucinatory quality, foretell of his later experimentation with drugs.

. . .
From early childhood, Michaux demonstrated some of the tendencies which were to define his entire life: food disgusted him, and he shunned games, amusements, and other children.
. . .
This trilogy is reminiscent of the works of Swift, Huxley, and other dystopian works.
. . .
Un Barbare en Asie (A Barbarian in Asia), is, on the other hand, a joyful and rhapsodic recounting of his encounters with the various Indians, Malays, Chinese, Indonesians, and Japanese of his voyage.

Miserable Miracle - Henri Michaux - Complete Review - Entrance to ...

       As far as drug-flights-of-fancy go, Michaux's book is fairly successful.
. . .
       The drug is a powerful thing, but he is more disturbed by it than pleased, especially its unforgiving purity.
. . .
For one: "the miserable becomes the appalling miracle".
. . .
A visual artist, poet, and writer, he describes himself as "more the water-drinking type" than someone who casually or frequently indulges in any sort of intoxicants.
. . .
Nevertheless, he tries mescaline again, though this time: "through an error of calculation I swallowed six times what is for me a sufficient dose." The megadose leads, along with some of the expected results, to unexpected ones as well.

His strangeness has occasionally led him to be classified with the Surrealists (some critics feel they have to put him somewhere), but he never used their techniques: no cadavre exquis, no free associations, no abstractly formulated attempt to destroy tradition and logic.
. . .
But Michaux would, I think, have been the first to encourage as many views of his writings as possible - with insect eyes - so to speak.
. . .
In 'I Am Gong' he asserts, 'I have not, in fact, become hard but striped -/I am gong and cotton and snow-like song.' And in the poem 'In Truth', much like the Buddha he utters, 'I am the good road that turns back no one.' One realizes that these declarations are not braggadocio or grand-standing, bur rather sincere and forthright assessments of his personal ethics.Levi's loving translation gives us a Michaux certainly under-acknowledged by most other translators and critics.
. . .
He emerges as one of the most extraordinary voices of our (post)modernity, a true technician of the sacred and perhaps the century's most genuine Surrealist.

Poems (3) of Henri Michaux, for chorus, strings & percussion ...

"Le grand combat" is violent and has no actual singing from the chorus.
. . .
The work is very abstract, but an underlying meaning is emotionally grasped.
. . .
Therefore, each individual voice part is very natural for its singer, even though sometimes calling for speaking, whispering, and shouting.

The work is so aleatoric that it has two scores (one for the voices, one for the instruments) which are only loosely coordinated; either group has its own conductor.
