What Wikipedia says

A poète maudit (French pronunciation: [pɔɛt modi], literally "cursed poet") is a poet living a life outside or against society. Insanity, crime, violence, abuse of alcohol or other drugs, and in general any societal sin, often resulting in an early death, are typical elements of the biography of a poète maudit.
