Gérald Neveu

Gérald Neveu (August 10, 1921, Marseille - February 28, 1960, Paris) was a French poet. Called by some "one of the gentlest poètes maudits",[1] he was born to Louis Neveu and Marthe Bonnaud in Marseille. Having lost his family and job and having become an alcoholic, he lived as a hobo and dreamer [2][3] in Marseille sleeping in friends's studios, homeless shelters or psychiatric clinics (together with Artaud he went through electroshocks). Since 1947 he was a member of the French Communist Party. In 1950 he befriended Jean Malrieu with whom he created the magazine Action poétique. A few months before his death he came to Paris where he was found dead one day; the cause of his death remains unknown. His wallet contained only a piece of paper saying "without hair, without teeth, without money, without a woman, without an apartment etc." [4]

gollark: Directly probably not, but there are 'betalight" things which convert the beta radiation (electrons) from tritium in a tube into light.
gollark: You can get GPS precision of a few metres or better nowadays. It's very neat.
gollark: Relativity has some effects on GPS because of the very precise timing involved.
gollark: I don't know what specifically "Lagrangian mechanics" is used for, I assume it's for modelling some things in physics/maths.
gollark: Anyway, you can obviously learn stuff on your own (well, I guess mostly not some physical skills and stuff), it just might be harder. You need good explanations and many practice questions.
