Gérald Neveu

Gérald Neveu (August 10, 1921, Marseille - February 28, 1960, Paris) was a French poet.

Called by some "one of the gentlest poètes maudits",[1] he was born to Louis Neveu and Marthe Bonnaud in Marseille.

Having lost his family and job and having become an alcoholic, he lived as a hobo and dreamer [2][3] in Marseille sleeping in friends' studios, homeless shelters or psychiatric clinics (together with Artaud he went through electroshocks).

His wallet contained only a piece of paper saying "without hair, without teeth, without money, without a woman, without an apartment etc.

"[4] He worked with the famous review Les Cahiers du Sud and also with Action Poétique.
