Arthur Rimbaud is the Enfant Terrible of French Literature- Mythologised, sanctified, and held aloft as a genius of the poetic arts. In Sang Premier that Enfant Terrible becomes, once more, the debauched teenager who slept on the streets of Paris and had a tempestuous affair with Paul Verlaine.
An unflinching and uncompromising translation- As shocking as Rimbaud intended. Sang Premier brings the radical poet back into the light.
