Arthur Rimbaud



Rimbaud, Arthur (1854–91), French poet. His vivid imagery and his “disordering of consciousness,” reflected in such poems as “The Drunken Boat” (1871), have had an enormous influence on modern poetry. He published A Season in Hell in 1873, after which he denounced his poetry and became an adventurer. His major collection, Les Illuminations, was published in 1886. Rimbaud was closely associated with the poet Paul Verlaine.
