 The Crux of Rimbaud's Poetics.
Rimbaud's indecision as to the true origin of the quintessences--an indecision that vacillated between the two poles of an Other on the one hand and his creative self on the other--remained the determining contradiction at the heart of his work.
Rimbaud’s notion of the approach to these things was a religious one, and it formulated itself in a kind of praxis: "one must make oneself a voyant." Rimbaud's philosophy of language was not fundamentally magical, but was rather what I would call dispensational.
Or rather the significance of Rimbaud, to the extent it is found in his writing itself, becomes synonymous with a rhetorical-poetic study of his technical virtuosity in relation to his literary forebears, on the one hand, and his literary progeny on the other.

 You should know about ... Arthur Rimbaud - Entertainment
For a few months Rimbaud and Verlaine made the rounds in the Paris cafes, mocking the smug self-satisfaction of its writers, driving a wedge between Mathilde's parents with their antics and in general making themselves the scandal of Parisian literary society.
After finishing "Season," Rimbaud would go on to complete what would be the first book of prose poems in the French language, "Illuminations." At 19 years old, he gave up writing poetry for the rest of his life, spending a few years traveling and learning languages in Europe before resettling in East Africa.
While it is easy in some sense to dismiss Rimbaud as the arch-rebel of French letters or the teenage poet laureate, to do so would be to miss not only the incredible depth and richness of his poems, but the central importance of his place in the history of French poetry.

 arthur rimbaud (important to patti smith)
Rimbaud set himself the task of striving to "see" this spiritual unknown, so that his individual consciousness might be taken over and used by it as a mere instrument.
Rimbaud intended to systematically undermine the normal functioning of his senses so that he could attain visions of the "unknown." He planned to subject himself, as if in a voluntary martyrdom, to fasting, pain, alcohol, and drugs, even cultivating hallucination and madness in order to expand his consciousness.
Rimbaud's visionary ideals also proved attractive; his "unknown," somewhat domesticated in the form of the individual unconscious, became the hunting ground of the Surrealists, and his techniques of free association and language play, which they exploited so freely, are now universally used.

Rimbaud's poetry is characterized by its diverse and disparate language levels, its clashes of tone and register, its use of neologisms ("Robinsonner" in `Roman' and "silluner" in `Les Poètes de sept ans'), and its inclusion of vocabulary from semantic fields not traditionally considered appropriate to poetry.
Rimbaud's conception of the poet was that he was a kind of instrument for a new perception of the world, exploring beyond the surface of so-called reality.

 Saudi Aramco World : Arthur Rimbaud, Coffee Trader   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
For the next eleven years, until he died miserably in a hospital in Marseille, Arthur Rimbaud, France's great 19th-century enfant terrible, whose poetry was to exert enormous influence on French literature, lived mostly in Aden and in Harar, Ethiopia, working in the coffee trade.
When Arthur Rimbaud (1854-1891) abandoned poetry altogether in 1873, at the age of 19 or 20, he left behind a small, incendiary and revolutionary body of work that included "The Drunken Boat," A Season in Hell, and Illuminations, a series of mystical prose poems.
Verlaine had tried unavailingly to contact Rimbaud and assumed that he was dead, and the book was attributed to "the late Arthur Rimbaud." Thus there may have been a moment in a Paris café when someone was reading Rimbaud's Illuminations while drinking a cup of Ethiopian for and exported.
