A Season in Hell & The Drunken Boat (English and French Edition)

A reissue of Rimbaudâ€™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 Rimbaudâ€™s A Season In Hell & The Drunken Boat â€• a personal poem of damnation as well as a plea to be released from â€œthe 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 Directionsâ€™s edition was among the first to be published in the U.S., and it quickly became a classic. Rimbaudâ€™s famous poem â€œThe Drunken Boatâ€ was subsequently added to the first paperbook printing. Allen Ginsberg proclaimed Arthur Rimbaud as â€œthe first punkâ€ â€• a visionary mentor to the Beats for both his recklessness and his fiery poetry.

This new edition proudly dons the original Alvin Lustigâ€“designed cover, and a introduction by another famous rebel â€• and now National Book Awardâ€“winner â€• Patti Smith.
