Usingnbsp;immediate vernacular that gives modern readers all the heady brilliancenbsp;of Rimbaud's rebelliousness, this new translationnbsp;contains the last poems written by one of the most influential poets before he abandoned poetry at the age of 20. Revell's essay, “Outrageous Innocence, Innocence Outraged,” is offered as postscript,nbsp;revealing the story of Rimbaud—his wildly creative youth, his years of breaking with traditional morality and decorum, his fame as the genius of French letters, and his early death.nbsp;Analysis places these poems in the larger historical narrative of the literature of rebellious youth that has molded much of contemporary culture. Published with the original French version on facing pages, this translation willnbsp;offer many the pleasure of reading this wild-child, long remembered as one of the masters of French poetry.
