| biography:
| Poet, born in Coat-Congar, near Morlaix, NW France. He studied at Morlaix and settled in Roscoff, where, apart from three years in Paris, he spent the rest of his life. He wrote only one volume of poems, Les Amours jaunes (1837), his main themes being love, Paris, the sea, and his native province. His work had affinities with the Symbolists, but he did not belong to any literary school, and was almost unknown until Paul Verlaine included him in Les Poètes maudits (1884). |
