Les Amours jaunes

Les Amours jaunes ("The Yellow Loves," or "Wry Loves") is the sole poetry collection by Tristan Corbière (1845–1875). Published at the author's expense in 1873 by Glady frères, a Parisian publishing house, it encompasses nearly all of Corbière's verse output, 101 poems of diverse sizes and forms. The work's printing was paid for by the poet's father, to whom the collection is dedicated, and 490 copies were produced in total. Certain of these include a self-portrait etched by the author. Published two years before Corbière's death at age 29, the book passed without notice at the time.

After the poet's death, the poems of Les Amours jaunes went on to influence Verlaine's Parallèllement, the works of J.K. Huysmans, and probably Jules Laforgue. In later generations, André Breton and the Surrealists would claim to be his ardent disciples; Fargue, Superviellie, Céline and Prévert all received his influence. T.S. Eliot and Ezra Pound introduced his work to the English-speaking world.
