Ring Zutiques poets

The Cercle of the poets Zutiques (or Zutistes) was a group of poets which met with the Hotel from Abroad, Saint-Michel boulevard with Paris with the end of the year 1871. Without program nor proclamation, the group counted among its members of the names as famous as Charles Cros, Arthur Rimbaud, Paul Verlaine, André Gill, Ernest Cabaner or Leon Valade.

Meetings of the group, one preserved a Album Zutique , in which the zutists caricatured savagely the poets parnassiens (with a very particular attention given to François Coppée, Turk head of the group) by parodic poems and drawings.

The lifespan of the circle is short since its members undertook to scuttle it at the latest with the beginning of the year 1872, by fear of fiscal controls in particular. After having transmitted the Album to the group of the " Vivants" (New Germain, Jean Richepin, Raoul Ponchon and Paul Le Bourget - for which it is necessary to add the name of Bouchor, but this last does not sign any poem of the Album) in 1872, Charles Cros, nostalgic, will re-use zutic name at the time of the creation of a new circle, in 1883.
