Biography

Eugène Bizeau was born on May 29, 1883, as the second child to a family of Touraine winegrowers and Republicans. Bizeau graduated from primary school at 13 before moving on to various trade jobs including: a servant, stonebreaker, and winegrower. At age 14, he was exposed to libertarian and anarchist publications, including Père Peinard and Le Libertaire.[2]

In 1907, Bizeau began contributing song and poems to the anarchist periodicals: the anarchy of Libertad, The Free Idea, Out of the herd, and the Refractories. He later joined "La Muse Rouge, becoming “one of the best poet-songwriters of the present time". He then published two collections of poems Balbutiements (1910) and Verrues Sociales (1914). In 1914, he began writing pacifist and anti-militarist poems, and began collaboration with Bertoni Louis's Réveil , Pierre Chardon 's Le Semeur , Sébastien Faure 's CQFD , and Armand's (Ernest-Lucien Juin) journals, lasting until 1950s.[2]

In 1916, Bizeau married Adélaïde Chambonnière whom he had met through Armand's journal and later had two children with. At that time, he lived in Massiac, working as a gardener and poet. In an effort to save the anarchists Sacco and Vanzetti from execution, Bizeau wrote in Le Libertaire protesting their execution. In 1929 and 1934, Bizeau's poems were set to music, record, and played on the airwaves of Radio Barcelona during the Spanish Revolution.[2]

In 1944, the Bizeau family moved back to Véretz, returning to work on his vineyard. In 1980-1981, Bizeau participated in the filming of the short film Listen to Bizeau directed by Bernard Baissat, with Robert Brécy acting as the historian. This film revitalized interest in the poet, having releasing not long after Bizeau's 100th birthday. Editions Pirot published a book entitled Eugène Bizeau a cent ans; they later reissued several of his collections.[2]

Eugène Bizeau died on April 17, 1989, at the hospital in Tours, aged 105. He was buried in Véretz.[2]
