Cercle des poètes Zutiques
The Cercle des poètes Zutiques (circle of poets Zutiques; also Zutistes ) was a group of poets of the Parisian bohème at the beginning of the Third French Republic .
The group of poets was founded in October 1871 by Charles Cros , initially under the name Vilains Bonhommes . Ernest Cabaner arranged the meeting point in a small room in the attic of L'Hôtel des Étrangers on Boulevard Saint-Michel in Paris , where he worked as a barman. In addition to Cros and Cabaner, the circle included the poets Arthur Rimbaud , Paul Verlaine , Germain Nouveau , Jean Richepin and the photographer Étienne Carjat . In this circle, poems were recited, sung and played the piano, but absinthe , hashish and opium were also consumed extensively . The album Zutique , a collection of 24 mostly crude and obscene parody verses , was created as a joint project . One of the caricatures was the poet François Coppée .
The group disbanded in the spring of 1872. The nostalgic Charles Cros tried to create a new group of poets with the same name in 1883.
