By 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 Rimbaud's major poems and letters, including generous selection of \u003ci\u003eIlluminations\u003c\/i\u003e and the entirety of his lacerating confession \u003ci\u003eA Season in Hell\u003c\/i\u003e--capturing as never before not only the meaning but also the daredevil attitudes and incantatory rhythms that make Rimbaud's works among the most perpetually modern of his or any other generation.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eBorn in northeastern France, \u003cb\u003eArthur Rimbaud\u003c\/b\u003e (1854-1891) is widely considered the quintessential French poet. His escape at age sixteen to join the Paris Commune and his tumultuous affair with Paul Verlaine (culminating in a gunshot wound in a Brussels hotel) are the stuff of literary legend. His writings and actions over a mere five yearsrevolutionized attitudes toward art, life, and sexuality. Rimbaud abandoned poetry at the age of twenty, and in his final decade he struggled to find success as a trader and gun-runner in Africa. He died of cancer at thirty-seven, having seen almost none of his work in print. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eMark Polizzotti\u003c\/b\u003e has translated more than fifty books from the French, including works by Gustave Flaubert, Patrick Modiano, Marguerite Duras, André Breton, and Raymond Roussel.
