	Rimbaud, Arthur Criticism and Essays (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		A child prodigy who produced his first poem at the age of ten, Rimbaud is often considered the father of modern poetry.
		Although these were generally considered his most traditional works, the individual poems deal with many of the same themes and concerns—particularly his rejection of bourgeois conventions and Christian principles—that characterize his later, more venomous, writing.
		Another renowned piece from this period is “Les Poètes de sept ans” (“Seven-year-old Poets”) which, like many of his early poems, apparently reflects his rejection of provincial life, or more specifically, his rebellion against the values and expectations of his mother, who was both his curse and his muse, as one critic put it.

		Her poems are autobiographies, not merely of particular events, but of the creative, and of the soul.
		The poems that brought a catch to my throat were never the ones I expected, and Crooker is not afraid to depict the mixed emotions that honestly and actually exist in family life.
		Light, illumination, radiance—there are thousands of aspects to explore in these familiar concepts, and Barbara Crooker uses connotation, culture, religion, visual art, physical properties and vivid, experiential description to inquire about and study light rather than to burden the reader with tedious repetition or a lack of inventiveness.

		Plath took pains to invest her poems with a mythic severity, and in the weeks before she died spoke on the BBC about the need for the modem poet to draw on myth while making "the metaphor-moral...
		The best poems in the book invent an entirely new music for the speaker's weltschmerz, a "diction that is galvanized against inertia" (to quote Marianne Moore on another subject), and they reveal a fabulously complicated sense of how to construct a poem as a series of tonal turns.
		An enduring question about her poetry — and one that's now almost impossible to answer — is to what degree the poems' illuminations truly are bound up in a personal sense of plight.

	Illuminations (poems) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Arthur Rimbaud's 1874 Illuminations include some autobiographical allusions to his voyant (visionary) period, which began in 1869; but Illuminations is neither a confession nor an apology.
		Its several dozen variously short prose and two free-verse poems transcend prose grammar by allowing their words to drift away from their dictionary definitions.
		As an adolescent he expanded the vocabulary and diversified the meters of French poetry; as a young adult he became unique in world literature.

	Robert Grenier's Illuminated Poems" by Karl Young
		Although the poem's lexical configuration is framed in darkness, the pages remain radiant, taking the hostility out of the darkness in much the same way as did the keyboard renditions of Eigner and Grenier's mother.
		As often in the illuminated poems, letters in some words have been left out or elided with others or take on resemblance to other letters or to natural forms or to personal gestalts.
		I set up the first on-line presentation of Grenier's illuminated poems in such a way as to insist on the importance of line in the work, the immediacy of the writer's hand, with its varying pressures, speeds, and other responses to the paper, as opposed to the generalizing tendency of gallery style presentation.

	Amittai F. Aviram : Rimbaud: Sex, Verse, and Modernity
		The poem is still very full — but not of meaning or "spirit" in the doctrinaire sense, but rather of senses and especially sound.
		Thus the images in the poem represent the vibrations of the sounds that communicate them, while at the same time their very excess allows them to clash and to reveal their own illusoriness before the bodily experience of sound and rhythm that they attempt to translate into figures.
		The anarchism of both of these poems is akin to the non-mediated democracy of the Commune and to its principle of equality (Ross 1988).

	Arthur Rimbaud - Poems, Biography, Quotes
		When he was not yet 17, Arthur Rimbaud (1854-91) electrified Paris's literary society with the incendiary poems that later made him the guiding saint of 20th-century rebels, from Pablo Picasso to Jim Morrison.
		"A Season in Hell," "The Drunken Boat," and the prose poems of Illuminations were epochal works that changed the nature of an art form--and yet their author abandoned poetry at age 21 and spent the rest of his short life as a colonial adventurer in Arabia and Africa.

	My favorite poet

		The poem is not about a grassy field but about the poet grabbing handfuls of that field.
		And yet, contradictorily, his passage to that remove is through experience, often of the dirt beneath the fingernails variety, the rending and devouring of flesh.
		Ultimately, though, what makes a poet different from another, and what makes his work lasting and essential, is his eye, which some call "voice." Rimbaud's eye roams a world of girls with orange and green lips, talking boats, descriptions of rabbits' visions, children looking out rain-coated windows, all of it seen in passing.

		By then he had become an anarchist, started drinking and amused himself by shocking the local bourgeois with his shabby dressing and long hair.
		The possibility that Rimbaud and Verlaine learned to smoke opium in Chinese dens near the Docks may help to explain the distortion of vision one encounters in these prose poems.

		His complete works—fewer than a hundred short poems, the seven-thousand-word prose text “Une Saison en Enfer,” and the prose poems known as the Illuminations, as well as approximately two hundred and fifty letters and a handful of other texts—barely fill two volumes.
		This poem has been interpreted as everything from a pre-Freudian expression of the poet’s longing for his absent father to a chronicle of drug-induced hallucinations.
		The Illuminations, a grouping of some forty prose poems on subjects ranging from a circus sideshow to city life, overlap chronologically with “Une Saison en Enfer”; most of them were probably written between 1872 and 1874, though possibly later.

	arthur rimbaud (important to patti smith)
		He decided to let his visions determine the form of his poems: if the visions were formless, then so would be the poems.
		The Illuminations (admired by Patti Smith) consist of a series of theatrical tableaux in which Rimbaud creates a primitive fantasy world--an imaginary universe complete with its own mythology, its own quasi-divine beings, its own cities--all depicted in kaleidoscopic images that have the vividness of hallucinations.
		His style is elliptical and esoteric, stripping the prose poem of its narrative and descriptive content, and using words for their evocative power rather than their their dictionary meaning.
