René François Ghilbert, known as René Ghil, was a French poet. He was a disciple of Stéphane Mallarmé, a major contributor to the Symbolist movement in France, although they later had a falling out over ideological differences. He worked extensively on a new system of scientific poetic language in reaction to Decadentism and Symbolism. Owing to his widespread use of personal syntax and neological vocabulary, much of Ghil's work was inaccessible, and his own contemporaries labelled it confusing. However, his works gained wider attention after his death.
