Rimbaud Collection

This is some video of my Rimbaud book collection which numbers over 100 books. Rimbaud fascinates me because he aspired to be a visionary. The dramatic reading of Rimbaud's "Adieu" is from the Elijah's Mantle CD "Poets and Visionaries".

I assume that a lot of those books are criticism? What would you recommend as an introduction?

[robrobbins]

@TenWhoWereTaken Wallace Fowlie was the best Rimbaud critic. French critics tend to be too intellectual and dismissive of Rimbaud's spiritual aspirations.

Your voice cracks me up, has me laughing, it sounds so inflated, so pompous, and pretentious....I read Rimbaud, and he is all these things, pompous arrogant self assured. I'm not slandering you, I'm just saying your voice sounds quite pompous and verboise and stuffy and not real, in the conversational sense, too staged.

Ok, I think I've said enough. Come criticise my reading of some poems.

@Olafandlafandlaf That is not my voice.
