Arthur Rimbaud - Complete Poetry & Prose (7 translations)

ARTHUR RIMBAUD (1854-1891) was a French poet and enfant terrible of French letters who wrote some of the most remarkable prose and poetry of the nineteenth century. All of his poetry was written as a teenager; he gave up creative writing completely before he turned 20. He traveled extensively on three continents before his death from cancer just after his 37th birthday.

As part of the decadent movement, he profoundly influenced modern literature and arts, inspired a wide variety of musicians, and prefigured surrealism. More than a century after his death, the young rebel-poet continues to appeal to modern readers as much for his turbulent life as for his poetry; his stormy affair with fellow poet Paul Verlaine and his nomadic adventures in eastern Africa are as iconic as his hallucinatory poems and symbolist prose.
