The Divine Brat

About The Divine Brat

Arthur Rimbaud was an infamous legend in his own time, a young boy-genius who changed the face of modern poetry forevermore with his groundbreaking, horrific and surreal vision of A Season in Hell. His lifestyle, up until his twentieth year, was one of a vagabond poet, a sexual libertine, and a young man whose roaring talent burned out before his twentieth year. Dying tragically at the age of 37, Rimbaud has come to exemplify what it means to be an explorer on the outer edges of artistic experimentation and excess. This small book of his collected poems and essays on his life is meant as a dedication to a man whose shadow looms large over the span of the centuries, and who, as Sartre once said of Jean Genet, was "rotten with genius." A "divine brat," indeed.
