René Char |
|||||||||
René Char (June 14, 1907 – February 19, 1988) was a 20th century French poet.
Born in L’Isle-sur-la-Sorgue in the Vaucluse department of France, he died in 1988, in Paris. In 1929 he met André Breton and Paul Éluard and joined the surrealist group but distanced himself gradually from the mid 1930s on. Char joined the Résistance in 1940. He wrote about these events in his prose poems Feuillets d’Hypnos in an extraordinary manner. In the 1960s he joined the battle against the stationing of Atomic weapons in Provence.
