To please the poetess Julia Daudet, Francis Viélé-Griffin recommends to Edouard Ducoté a poem by the latter's niece: "... je vous serais très reconnaissant, mon cher ami, d'accueillir l'oeuvre de cette jeune poétesse..." ["... I would be very grateful, my dear friend, if you would welcome the work of this young poetess..."]
While vacationing in Biarritz, Francis Viélé-Griffin also sends verses to the review directed by Edouard Ducoté.
Intimate friend of Stéphane Mallarmé, friend of André Gide, Paul Valéry, Francis Jammes, and Emile Verhaeren, Francis Viélé-Griffin was an American symbolist poet writing in French. He became, with Gustave Kahn, one of the principal theorists of free verse.
