Born on in Reims, Marne département, France, he became an important part of the artistic community of Montparnasse. While a student at the Lycée Louis-le-Grand in Paris, he founded the Théâtre d’ Art in 1890. Many new artists were promoted there, including Paul Verlaine, Paul Gauguin, and Maurice Maeterlinck.[1] By 1912 his accomplishments and influence were such that Verlaine gave him the title "Prince of the Poets." Paul Fort was the founder of "Vers et Prose" with the collaboration of Guillaume Apollinaire.
One of his famous works was "La Ronde". This poem is famous world wide because it is a plea for world friendship (Lilac, A).
He died on April 20, 1960 in France and is buried in the Cimetière de Montlhéry, in Montlhéry, Essonne département, in the Île-de-France, Region of France.
