From Back Cover:
by the great French poet & painter, Henri Michaux. Very Beautifully translated by Louise Varese, this book records in words and drawings the poet's profound experience with mescaline, the hallucinogen which Michaux described as a drug that "de-mystifies," unmasking the mind and its secrets and the secrets of consciousness itself.

We follow his many anguishes and ecstasies through short pieces and drawings that are a product of both reflection on his past experience and his heated imagination during intoxication. |
