André Rivoire (5 May 1872 - 19 August 1930) was a French poet and playwright whose work was defined by the delicate precision of his observation. ==Life and work== Rivoire was born in Vienne, Isère, in eastern France. He studied at the Lycée de Lyon and then at Lycée Henri-IV. A student of Henri Bergson, he showed an early interest in poetry, publishing under the pseudonym "André Suzel". After a collection of poetry, ''Les Vierges'' (Virgins) (1895) and a dramatic fantasy ''Berthe aux grands pieds'' (Bertha Broadfoot) (1899), he published ''Le Songe de l'Amour'' '(The Dream of Love) (1900) and ''Le Chemin de l'Oubli'' (The Way of Forgetfulness) (1904), both in an intimate vein.〔Collectif, André Rivoire, le poète, sa vie, son œuvre, Blanchard Frères, Vienne , 1932.〕 Among his eighteen plays, notable are ''Le Bon Roi Dagobert'' (Good King Dagobert) (1908) and ''Roger Bontemps'' (1920). His dramatic work has a light and delicate touch displaying deft and precise psychological observation. The poet Sully Prudhomme said of his play ''The Little Shepherdess'', to which he wrote a preface, "The author has described some extremely delicate states of the soul, using only the traditional resources of versification." 〔Andre Rivoire, ''The Little Shepherdess: A Comedy in One Act".
