A reissue of Rimbaud’s highly influential work, with a new preface by Patti Smith and the original 1945 New Directions cover design by Alvin lustig.
New Directions is pleased to announce the relaunch of the long-celebrated bi- lingual edition of Rimbaud’s
A Season In Hell & The Drunken Boat― a personal poem of damnation as well as a plea to be released from “the examination of his own depths.â€
Rimbaud originally distributed
A Season In Hell to friends as a self-published booklet, and soon afterward, at the age of nineteen, quit poetry altogether. New Directions’s edition was among the first to be published in the U.S., and it quickly became a classic. Rimbaud’s famous poem “The Drunken Boat†was subsequently added to the first paperbook printing. Allen Ginsberg proclaimed Arthur Rimbaud as “the first punk†― a visionary mentor to the Beats for both his recklessness and his fiery poetry.
This new edition proudly dons the original Alvin Lustig–designed cover, and a introduction by another famous rebel ― and now National Book Award–winner ― Patti Smith.
Now you can buy Books online in USA,UK, India and more than 100 countries.
