About Claude Minière
- Claude Minière (born October 25, 1938) 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 (Nouvelles editions françaises, Paris, 1995).
- Together with Margaret Tunstill, he translated two works by Ezra Pound: Henri Gaudier-Brzeska, A Memoir (Henri Gaudier-Brzeska, ed.
- Tristram, 1992) and Treatise on Harmony (Traité d’Harmonie, ed.
- Julien Salvy, 1980).
- In addition to the many collections of his poetry he has produced three remarkable essays : Pound caractère chinois (ed.
- Gallimard); Barnett Newman (ed.
- Tarabuste); and Descartes (ed.
- Le Cherche-Midi).
