About Renée Vivien
- Renée Vivien (born Pauline Mary Tarn; 11 June 1877 – 18 November 1909), was a British poet who wrote in French, in the style of the Symbolistes and the Parnassiens.
- A high-profile lesbian in the Paris of the Belle Époque, she was as notable for her lifestyle as for her work, which has received more attention following a recent revival of interest in Sapphic verse.
- Many of her poems are autobiographical, reflecting a life of extreme hedonism, leading to early death.
- She was the subject of a pen-portrait by her friend Colette.
