Jacques Rigaut

Jacques Rigaut (French: [ʁiɡo]; 30 December 1898 – 9 November 1929) was a French surrealist poet. Born in Paris, he was part of the Dadaist movement. His works frequently talked about suicide and he came to regard its successful completion as his occupation. In 1929 at the age of 30, as he had announced, Rigaut shot himself, using a ruler to be sure the bullet would pass through his heart. He is buried in the Cimetière de Montmartre. Rigaut's works include: * Agence Générale du Suicide * Et puis merde! * Papiers Posthumes * Lord Patchogue
