A young poet meets a great one. On his fifteenth birthday, Henri-Albert Cornuty, was given by his uncle Poèmes saturniens of Paul Verlaine. Reading them stirred him so much that, without telling anyone, he left for Paris to meet his idol. He went on foot and met Verlaine on the first day of autumn in 1895 and did not leave him until his death three months later. The life of Verlaine was extravagant, but the last months of his life approached the surreal. He was only fifty-one but crippled by diseases: Just a handful of unconditional admirers stood by him - those who loved his freedom of tone, the force of his denunciations, the disorder of his life and the genius of his poetry.Madly devoted to this magnificent and terrifying figure, Jean Teulé recounts through the eyes of Cornuty the final extravagant months.
Jean Teulé has published Rainbow for Rimbaud, The Eye of Easter, Stroll for a Forgotten Father, Darling, Bord Cadre, Long Punishments, and The Laws of Gravity (all Julliard).
