Xavier Forneret (Beaune, September 16 1809 - August 7 1884) was a French dramaturge, poet and journalist. In the 1830s, he was a member of the Bouzingo, a group of poets which advocated a radical bohemian romanticism in life and art; contemporaries and kindred spirits included Gérard de Nerval and Théophile Gautier. His reputation was partly rehabilitated by André Breton, who included some of Forneret's poems and aphorisms in his Anthology of Black Humor. The Grand Prix de l'Humour Noir Xavier Forneret is named in his memory. He is best known for his poem "Un pauvre honteux".
