ARTHUR RIMBAUD: A SEASON IN HELL

edited and translated by Andrew Jary

A new translation of Arthur Rimbaud's extraordinary poetic statement, written in 1873. The sensual, violent and anguished emotion in Rimbaud's visionary 'alchemy of the word' remains startling, and continues to inspire poets.

Printed with the French text facing the translation.

For a time, when he was a teenager until he was 19, art was crucial for the psychic well-being of the restless Arthur Rimbaud (1854-1891). The young would-be rebel Rimbaud escaped from the bland provincial town of Charleville in...

Si l'on devait citer le poete qui a exerce l'influence la plus profonde sur la poesie du debut du XXe siecle, il faudrait nommer Rimbaud. Avec plus de hardiesse encore que Baudelaire, il a etendu le champ d'exploration de la poesie. Avant lui, l'experience poetique etait principalement l'experience de la creation litteraire. Apres lui, la poesie devient un moyen de connaissance. C'est qu'il n'a pas hesite a se mettre en communication avec la part inconnaissable de lui-meme. Il y a decouvert un grand jeu d'images, fleurs eclatees, filles a levres d'orange, deluges et miracles, un jeu dont...

Arthur Rimbaud est LE poete par excellence. Enfant precoce et eleve brillant, il remporte des prix de litterature des son adolescence. Jeune homme revolte contre l'ordre des choses, il voit la poesie comme un moyen de les faire evoluer. Son abandon de la poesie a partir de dix-neuf ans est pour certains l'aveu de cet echec. D'autres pensent que c'est simplement pour gagner sa vie qu'il arreta d'ecrire et se tourna vers le commerce. Le poete du Bateau ivre a eu une vie mouvementee faite de fugues, de vie de boheme, d'errance et de voyages."
