" Ça sonne comme une comptine et c'est magique. Une fugue... Éclair de beauté et de malice que ce voleur de feu lance au ciel de la poésie ! Ivre de sensations, Rimbaud est comme ce bateau qui connaît l'éblouissement de " nuits sans fond " mais aussi la désillusion " d'aubes navrantes ". Voyant, il crée un monde où la Grande Ourse est une auberge, où les poteaux télégraphiques sont une lyre aux chants de fer... Révolté, il va, portant en lui " le sanglot des Infâmes, la clameur des Maudits " et le sourire tranquille du dormeur du val... Mais pour finir il s'évade, tout à la fois ange, mage et vagabond, laissant à vingt ans une oeuvre fulgurante dont les échos se prolongent aujourd'hui. no reviews | add a review

"Poet, prodigy, precursor, punk: the short, precocious, uncompromisingly rebellious career of the poet Arthur Rimbaud is one of the legends of modern literature. 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 Illuminations and the entirety of his lacerating confession A Season in Hell - 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"-- No library descriptions found. |
