Arthur Rimbaud

Jean Nicolas Arthur Rimbaud (1854–1891) was a French poet who is known for his contributions to the Symbolist movement. Born in the small town of Charleville-Mézières, Rimbaud wrote the majority of his literary works during a five-year period between late-adolescence and early adulthood, including his major collections Une Saison en Enfer (1873) and Les Illuminations (1886). Both titles were translated into English by Bertrand Mathieu and published by BOA Editions in 1973.
