Frederic Kusseler

Frederic Kusseler is a Belgian poet you are probably entirely unfamiliar with. This would be due, of course, to the fact that this entry marks his first publication.

Having been introduced to the works of Edgar Alan Poe at the age of twenty, Frederic decided to use the English language exclusively for any literary expression. His long-standing love affair with poetry started when he stumbled across Charles Baudelaire’s ‘Les Fleurs du Mal’ only one year later.
