Informazioni sull?autore

The poetic genius of Arthur Rimbaud (1854�1891) blossomed early and burned briefly. Nearly all of his work was composed when he was in his teens, before all trace of his literary life disappeared with him into the African desert of his later years. During the century following his death at thirty-seven, Rimbaud�s work and life have influenced generations of readers and writers. Radical in its day, Rimbaud�s writing took some of the first and most fundamental steps toward the liberation of poetry from the formal constraints of its history, and now represents one of the most powerful and enduring bodies of poetic expression in human history.
