The first poetry collection by Arthur Teboul, author, and singer of the band Feu! Chatterton, which became a huge bookstore success (40K+ copies sold)

As a singer, Arthur Teboul embodies a rock and romantic spirit. Poetic and inspired, he is one of the new, talented voices that resonate with the youth, blurring the usual boundaries between genres, and redefining the French music scene in an original and captivating way.

As the lyricist for the band, Arthur Teboul confesses that he came to music through literature. He advocates for a life where poetry has a greater presence. It’s easy to sense that he carries within him the essence of a writer.

Indeed, between the songwriting phases for his albums, he has developed the habit of composing what he calls “minute poems,” during sessions of “pouring out” or automatic writing. Somewhere between prose poems and dreamlike stories, these are short texts where ideas and emotions are the protagonists, rich in invention, and full of mystery, liveliness, humor, strangeness, and beauty. These 98 pieces, (preceded by a preface, where Arthur Teboul describes his poetic project), make up this collection, The Overflow.
