Review Quotes:
"A mystic in the wild state." - Paul Claudel
"This collection is interesting for the light it casts on the background to the writing of 'A Season in Hell' and the poems later referred to (by Paul Verlaine) as 'The Illuminations'. As well as the poems themselves, Schmidt includes transcriptions of letters (to Verlaine and others) and biographical details from the life of this most nihilistic genius." - The Guardian
"The best edition in English" - Montreal Gazette
"The hallucinatory prose-poems of Arthur Rimbaud rank among the glories of 19th-century French literature." - New York Times
"Visionary . . . Wicked . . . A Genius." - The New Yorker
"Rimbaud was pure dynamite . . . he restored literature to life." - Henry Miller
