FORNERET Xavier. Vapours. Neither verse nor prose. Paris, E. Duverger, 1838; in-8 paperback, viii-372-[7] pp. printed cover. Very rare first edition, published on a self-publishing basis, of the author's first collection of poems. It combines black humour, unbridled lyricism and unusual images in a hybrid style that was to introduce the prose poem to later generations. A good copy in its original condition. Some spotting in places, not serious. Vicaire, III, col. 759.
