Jacques Marie Prevel (1915
Paris - 1951 ) was a Frenchpoet . His real first name was Jacques, but he added 'Marie' not to be mistaken withJacques Prévert , 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,
René Daumal andRoger Gilbert-Lecomte , and alsoAntonin Artaud . Prevel considered Artaud his master, but Artaud admired Prevel's writings as well - he wrote about him (often "more portraying himself" [Slavík, Ivan, "Rozklenout srázné", p. 86; Olomouc 1993] ) and dictated his visions to him. Prevel also supplied Artaud withlaudanum andopium . Prevel died of tuberculosis in the Sainte-Peyre hospital in the arms of his second love Jenny.Bibliography
