A Season in Hell & The Drunken Boat (Second Edition)
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."
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.
