Poets and Poetry Freaks alike–gather, gather! For a song of accursed poets and a nice long swim in their wake. Hey, there’s a French term for those folks: Poétes maudits! And you know how a very specific phrase in another language just grips me by the soul and sets me to shivering with joy! Cursed poets, symbolists, decadents! With a trifecta like that, how can we not emerge more poetic? This is the dream!
