  Rimbaud Complete

  by Arthur Rimbaud

  Enduring icon of creativity, authenticity, and rebellion, and the subject of numerous new biographies, Arthur Rimbaud is one of the most repeatedly scrutinized literary figures of the last half-century. Yet almost thirty years have elapsed without a major new translation of his writings. Remedying this state of affairs is Rimbaud Complete , the first and only truly complete edition of Rimbaud’s work in English,... (more)

  Rimbaud

  The Double Life of a Rebel

  by Edmund White

  The distinguished biographer, novelist, and memoirist Edmund White brings his literary mastery to a new biography of Arthur Rimbaud. Poet and prodigy Arthur Rimbaud led a life that was startlingly short, but just as dramatically eventful and accomplished. Even today, over a century after his death in 1891, his visionary poetry has continued to influence everyone from Jim Morrison and Bob Dylan to Patti Smith.... (more)

  Une saison en enfer, Illuminations

  by Arthur Rimbaud

  Verlaine vit en lui "le plus beau" des "mauvais anges", Claudel "un mystique à l'état sauvage", Henry Miller "le rebelle incarné". Mallarmé, à propose de cette oeuvre fondatrice de notre modernité poétique, préféra évoquer l'éclat du "météore" : de fait, trois ans au plus séparent les vers de collège d'Arthur Rimbaud (1854-1891), écrits à seize ans, des poèmes qui précèdent Une saison en enfer .

  Complete Works

  by Arthur Rimbaud, Paul Schmidt

  Arthur Rimbaud is remembered as much for his volatile personality and tumultuous life as he is for his writings, most of which he produced before the age of eighteen. This book brings together his poetry, prose, and letters, including "The Drunken Boat," "The Orphans' New Year," "After the Flood," and "A Season in Hell," considered by many to be his. Complete Works is divided into eight "seasons"--Childhood, The... (more)

  The Illuminations

  by Arthur Rimbaud

  As soon as the idea of the Flood subsided, A hare stopped in the clover and swinging flowerbells and said his prayer to the rainbow through the spider's web . . . Arthur Rimbaud's short career as a poet came to a fiery close with The Illuminations. Innovative in their juxtaposition of images and exploration of language, the poems have inspired generations of poets. They retain their avant-garde flavor more than... (more)

  Fierce Invalids Home from Hot Climates

  by Tom Robbins

  Switters is a contradiction for all seasons: an anarchist who works for the government; a pacifist who carries a gun; a vegetarian who sops up ham gravy; a cyberwhiz who hates computers; a man who, though obsessed with the preservation of innocence, is aching to deflower his high-school-age stepsister (only to become equally enamored of a nun ten years his senior). Yet there is nothing remotely wishy-washy about... (more)

  Arthur Rimbaud: Selected Poems

  by Arthur Rimbaud

  Burnt out at 23, Rimbaud has become a model for the poet as wayward genius. Nevertheless, he wrote a substantial amount of lyric and dramatic verse. This volume contains all his mature output, together with several short prose works, including "A Season in Hell".

  Collected Poems

  by Arthur Rimbaud

  'The poet makes himself a seer by a long, prodigious, and rational disordering of all the senses...' Rimbaud was sixteen when he made this famous declaration. By 1886, then thirty-two and an explorer, trader and slave-trader on the Red Sea, he had absolutely no interest in the fate or success of the poetry infused with mysticism, alchemy and magic that he had written in his teens. That same year, in Paris, "Les... (more)

  Just Kids

  by Patti Smith

  It was the summer Coltrane died, the summer of love and riots and the summer when a chance encounter in Brooklyn led two young people on a path of art, devotion and initiation. Patti Smith would evolve as a poet and performer and Robert Mapplethorpe would direct his highly provocative style toward photography. Bound in innocence and enthusiasm, they traversed the city from Coney Island to 42nd Street, and... (more)

  I Promise to Be Good

  Letters

  by Arthur Rimbaud

  One of the most written-about literary figures in the past decade, Arthur Rimbaud left few traces when he abandoned poetry at age twenty-one and disappeared into the African desert. Although the dozen biographies devoted to Rimbaud’s life depend on one main source for information—his own correspondence—a complete edition of these remarkable letters has never been published in English. Until now. A moving document... (more)

  Arthur Rimbaud

  by Enid Starkie

  “This is the fullest and fairest of the half-dozen books on Rimbaud in English. No single volume so complete exists even in French.”—Roger Shattuck ( The New York Times ) Rimbaud—a mythic name—his life as extraordinary as his work was influential in redirecting the course, first of French, and then of world poetry. He is, indeed, the very symbol of what we now call “modern” literature; nearly a hundred years... (more)

  Complete Works, Selected Letters

  by Arthur Rimbaud

  Wallace Fowlie's prose translations accompany the original French texts in this, the first complete bilingual edition of Rimbaud's work in prose and poetry. "This handsome edition, which makes France's most remarkable poet readily available in the U.S., may well be a literary landmark comparable to Baudelaire's introduction of Edgar Allan Poe in France a century earlier."—Anna Balakian, New York Times Book... (more)

  The Time of Assassins

  A Study of Rimbaud

  by Henry Miller

  This study is not literary criticism but a fascinating chapter in Miller's own spiritual autobiography. The social function of the creative personality is a recurrent theme with Henry Miller, and this book is perhaps his most poignant and concentrated analysis of the artist's dilemma.
