Poésies complètes, by Arthur Rimbaud
"Poésies complètes" by Arthur Rimbaud is a collection of his complete poems, written in the late 19th century. This work captures the essence of Rimbaud's innovative poetic style, characterized by vivid imagery and emotional depth. It provides readers with insight into the themes of youth, love, nature, and existential musings, exploring the complexities of human experience. The opening of the collection features a preface by Paul Verlaine, Rimbaud's contemporary and supporter, who
reflects on the significance of Rimbaud's poetry and the challenges it faced during its reception. Verlaine discusses the poet’s youthful exuberance and the varying quality of his works, while also expressing a desire for a more judicious selection of pieces. Following this, the collection presents a selection of poems that range from poignant reflections on childhood and loss to avant-garde expressions of experience, such as the iconic poems "Les Étrennes des orphelins" and "Voyelles," both showcasing Rimbaud's unique ability to convey complex emotions through striking language and metaphor.
