Whether you are a backpacker from Idaho on your first visit, or a cultural swallow on an annual migration to Paris, this pocket book is packed with poetry to intoxicate and inspire, goad and guide. The poetic tradition of Paris is personal, irreverent, sexy and invigorating and this collection delights in the company of such swash buckling gallows-fodder as François Villon, and applauds the perpetual rebels, Rimbaud and Baudelaire.
