Roger Milliot (1927, Le Cresot - 1968) was a French poet and painter. He served as a soldier in Indochina and as such had a pension. His health problems disabled him from becoming an ornamentalist. Like his idol René Char he preferred province life to Paris and lived in Montauban (where there is a museum of his paintings, mostly portraits of women). His depressions and feelings of frustration led him to suicide by drowning in the Seine river. His poems were published posthumously.
