Marcel Lecomte

MARCEL LECOMTE (1900–1966) was a Belgian writer and member of the Belgian surrealist movement. Although he published several collections of poetry including Démonstrations (1922) and Applications (1925, a work that showcased two drawings from his friend, artist René Magritte), Lecomte is best known as a journalist and critic. He wrote widely on art and literature and maintained weekly political columns in Le Rouge et the Noir and La Laterne. The poems translated for this issue originally appeared in Le Coeur et la Main, a collection published posthumously in 1968.
