Arthur Rimbaud Complete Works
Arthur Rimbaud Complete Works | Arthur Rimbaud
5 posts | 8 read | 5 to read
One of the world's most influential poets, Arthur Rimbaud (1854-1891) is remembered as much for his volatile personality and tumultuous life as he is for his writings, almost all of which he produced before the age of twenty. Paul Schmidt's acclaimed collection brings together his complete poetry, prose, and letters, including "The Drunken Boat," "The Orphans' New Year," "After the Flood," and "A Season in Hell." Complete Works is divided into eight "seasons" Childhood, the Open Road, War, the Tormented Heart, the Visionary, the Damned Soul, a Few Belated Cowardices, and the Man with the Wind at His Heels that reflect the facets of Rimbaud's life. Insightful commentary by Schmidt reveals the courage, vision, and imagination of Rimbaud's poetry and sheds light on one of the most enigmatic figures in letters."

It‘s amazing to me how much poetry he produced in his short period of rebellion & hedonism. Even more fascinating he just stopped & ended up with a second half of life that sought the exact opposite of his youth but he still continues wandering through life.
Side note: recommend Rimbaud in Abyssinia by Alain Borer if you are interested in reading about him post poetry

Garlands from window to window;
And golden chains from star to star..."
