born Oct. 20, 1854, Charleville, France died Nov. 10, 1891, Marseille French poet and adventurer.

The Drunken Boat (written 1871), perhaps his finest poem, displays his astonishing verbal virtuosity and a daring choice of images and metaphors.

A Season in Hell (1873), which alternates prose passages with dazzling lyrics, became his farewell to poetry at age
