About Jacques Prevel

  • Jacques Marie Prevel (Bolbec, July 27, 1915 - Sainte-Feyre, May 27, 1951) was a French poet.
  • His real first name was Jacques, but he added 'Marie' not to be mistaken with Jacques PrĂ©vert, whose surname is pronounced in a very similar way.
  • During the German occupation he lived in the famous Parisiene district Saint-Germain-des-Près. Among his friends were the members of the Le Grand Jeu movement, RenĂ© Daumal and Roger Gilbert-Lecomte, and also Antonin Artaud.
  • Prevel considered Artaud his master, but Artaud admired Prevel's writings as well - he wrote about him (often "more portraying himself" ) and dictated his visions to him.
  • Prevel also supplied Artaud with laudanum and opium.
  • Prevel died of tuberculosis in the Sainte-Peyre hospital in the arms of his second love Jany.
