Lise Deharme (née Anne-Marie Hirtz) was a French writer, poet, and a significant figure within the Surrealist movement of the 20th century. Born in Paris in 1898, she quickly became associated with the avant-garde, eventually becoming a muse for the poet André Breton, who famously included her in his novel 'Nadja.' Her literary output is characterized by its dreamlike and playful qualities, often focusing on childhood, metamorphosis, and the subconscious. While frequently overshadowed by her social role as a hostess of intellectual circles, her work remains a notable contribution to Surrealist literature. She collaborated with several prominent artists of the era, including Joan Miró, and her poetry and stories are often presented in artistic formats that bridge the gap between literature and the visual arts.^[1]
