Let's make this birthday one to remember.

93 years old (Born on August 25, 1931)

Happy Birthday to the surrealist maestro, Tchicaya U Tamsi! Your poetry continues to bewilder and delight readers, proving that even "Les Cancrelats" (cockroaches) can inspire literary greatness. Who knew insects could be so poetic?

From the vivid imagery of "La veste d'intérieur suivi de Notes de veille" to the haunting brilliance of "Mauvais Sang," your words dance effortlessly between reality and dreams. Today we celebrate not just another year, but your timeless ability to make us question our sanity—and love every minute of it. Here's hoping your birthday is as wonderfully surreal as your poetry!
