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. <I>Complete Works</I> is divided into eight "seasons"--Childhood, The Open Road, War, The Tormented Heart, The Visionary, The Damned Soul, A Few Belated Cowardices, and The Man with the Wind at His Heels--that reflect the facets of Rimbaud's life. Insightful commentary by translator and editor Paul Schmidt reveals the courage, vision, and imagination of Rimbaud's poetry and sheds light on one of the most enigmatic figures in letters. </P> 2095346 1946 Arthur Rimbaud: Complete Works (Perennial Classics) total:513|5:274|4:169|3:59|2:11|1:0| 513 2245 760 35 5 1 false false Mon Sep 24 01:38:48 -0700 2007 Mon Sep 24 01:43:08 -0700 2007 Letters to a Young poet.
