Fascinating and pretty numbered edition on special vellum from Papeteries Docelles and illustrated with 40 original watercolors by Dubout -

This work presents itself as an anthology devoted to satirical and licentious poetry, offering a panorama of works and authors who, through the centuries, have combined critical spirit, humor, and provocation to comment on manners, passions, and human excesses -

The florilegium gathers poems chosen for their audacity, their vivacity, and their ability to surprise, highlighting recurring themes of social satire, sexual freedoms, hypocrisies, and human failings -

Dubout arranges the texts in a way that brings out the diversity of poetic forms and registers of expression, alternating irony, burlesque, parody, and erotism, and showing how poets have used language and imagery to provoke reflection, laughter, or scandal -
