A new translation of the best and most provocative work by France''s infamous rebel poet, in a bilingual editionPoet, prodigy, precursor, punk: the short, precocious, uncompromisingly rebellious career of the poet Arthur Rimbaud is one of the legends of modern literatureBy the time he was twenty, Rimbaud had written a series of poems that are not only masterpieces in themselves but that forever transformed the idea of what poetry is. Without him, surrealism is inconceivable, and his influence is palpable in artists as diverse as Henry Miller, John Ashbery, Bob Dylan, and Patti Smith.
In this essential volume, renowned translator Mark Polizzotti offers authoritative and inspired new versions of Rimbauds major poems and letters, including generous selection of
Illuminations and the entirety of his lacerating confession
A Season in Hellcapturing as never before not only the meaning but also the daredevil attitudes and incantatory rhythms that make Rimbauds works among the most perpetually modern of his or any other generation.
