| Dialect poet, born in Agen, SW France. The son of a poor tailor, he was for most of his life a barber and wigmaker in Agen. His first collections of poems, Charivari (1825) and Papillotos (1835), were written mainly in his native langue d'oc. He read and sang in public in Toulouse and Bordeaux to great popular acclaim. His poems include Souvenirs (1835), Martha la folle (1844), and Les Deux Frères jumeaux (1845), and deal with humble people and places. |
