WWII hero Issak Manouchian's poems were republished earlier this year, right after his and his wife Melinée's remains were moved to the Pantheon. They are the 1st non-French nationals to be honoured in this way (Josephine Baker & Marie Curie were both naturalised French, whereas Manouchian was refused naturalisation in the 30s).
His poems are heavily influenced by Baudelaire & Verlaine (he sat in on lit classes at the Sorbonne w/ taking exams).
