Poésies complètes
Edition enrichie (Introduction, notes, notices, chronologie et bibliographie)Si l'on devait citer le poète qui a exercé l'influence la plus profonde sur la poésie du début du xxe siècle, il faudrait nommer Rimbaud. Avec plus de hardiesse encore que Baudelaire, il a étendu le champ d'exploration de la poésie. Avant lui, l'expérience poétique était principalement l'expérience de la création littéraire. Après lui, la poésie devient un moyen de connaissance. [...] C'est qu'il n'a pas hésité à se mettre en communication avec la part inconnaissable de lui-même. Il y a découvert un grand jeu d'images, fleurs éclatées, filles à lèvres d'orange, déluges et miracles, un jeu dont chaque figure ressemble à un message marqué d'un sceau incompréhensible et sacré. Dès lors, Rimbaud va libérer tous les phénomènes de l'inconscient, préparer les voies du surréalisme et créer, si l'on veut, un nouveau mystère dont les symboles resteront étrangers au merveilleux et au fantastique.

Arthur Rimbaud
Jean Nicolas Arthur Rimbaud (UK: , US: ; French: ; 20 October 1854 – 10 November 1891) was a French poet known for his transgressive and surreal themes and for his influence on modern literature and arts, prefiguring surrealism.
Born in Charleville, he started writing at a very young age and excelled as a student, but abandoned his formal education in his teenage years to run away to Paris amidst the Franco-Prussian War. During his late adolescence and early adulthood, he produced the bulk of his literary output. Rimbaud completely stopped writing literature at age 20 after assembling his last major work, Illuminations.
Rimbaud was a libertine and a restless soul, having engaged in a hectic, sometimes violent romantic relationship with fellow poet Paul Verlaine, which lasted nearly two years. After his retirement as a writer, he travelled extensively on three continents as a merchant and explorer until his death from cancer just after his thirty-seventh birthday. As a poet, Rimbaud is well known for his contributions to symbolism and, among other works, for A Season in Hell, a precursor to modernist literature.
