Henri Deluy
Henri Deluy (Born 25 April 1931 Marseille is a French poet. When Deluy was thirteen growing up in Aix-en-Provence he sent some of his poems to the local poet Blaise Cendrars. She reponded by correcting some grammatical errors which served to encourage Deluy. Five years later he interrupted his studies and hitchhiked England where he supported himself doing fruit-picking. He then decided to go to Sweden but while travelling through the Netherlands, he met his first wife who introduced him to a whole generation of ultra-modernist poets such as Adriaan Roland Holst. This proved to have a significant impact on his development as a writer.
