About this title: The enfant terrible of French letters, Jean-Nicholas-Arthur Rimbaud (1854-91) was a defiant and precocious youth who wrote some of the most remarkable prose and poetry of the nineteenth century, all before leaving the world of verse by the age of twenty-one.

"The best collection of Rimbaud's poetry, edited by renowned Duke University professor and Rimbaud expert Wallace Fowlie. Fowlie places the original French text on the left page and his English translation on the right. This is a great study tool. It is a challenging read if one is not familiar with French Impressionism. But Fowlie covers what you need to know in his excellent introduction, which invites further study. The Illuminations are perhaps the most difficult writings to grasp. I still have trouble deciphering some passages. But to think that Rimbaud wrote everything here in four short years is mind-boggling. If you are a writer or just enjoy poetry, check this out! You won't be disappointed."
"What Rimbaud accomplished by the age of 19 is a treasure for all to delve into who have an affinity for poetry. I also have a penchant for Wallace Fowlie's translation and recommend this edition for anyone seeking to explore his work. A gem for sure."
"Possibly the greatest of all French poets-certainly popular with English speaking writers and artists, like James Joyce, Jim Carroll, Patti Smith and Henry Miller. This translation includes the French originals on the facing pages. The work resonates with the work of other iconoclasts, such as William Blake and Friedrich Nietzsche."
