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 a century after they
were first published. "Five years in the making, this new translation transmits the vitality and freshness of Rimbaud's voice while preserving fidelity to the originals. This dual-language edition allows readers to compare the translation with the original." |
