The poems in Rythmes pittoresques, first published in 1890, present
not only a poet searching for a voice, but also a female poet
searching for a voice while breaking down rules of both
versification and gender-determined source of expression. They went
straight to the heart of the male-dominated poetry of the time and
effectively threatened its existence. Of the group of poets who
were the first to write free-verse poetry in French - Marie
Krysinska, Arthur Rimbaud, Jules Laforgue, Gustave Kahn - only
Marie Krysinska (1857-1908) has not received critical recognition.
Although it was quickly dismissed by critics simply because it was
written by a female poet, Krysinska's poetry gives insight into the
creation of a new form of feminine expression as well as the
persecution of the female artist viewed by her largely male peers,
readership and competitors.
