Claude Minière (born October 25, 1938, Paris) is an essayist and poet.[2] 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. 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).[3] 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);[4] Barnett Newman (ed. Tarabuste);[5] and Descartes (ed. Le Cherche-Midi).
