Description
An intriguing and idiosyncratic book, RE:VERB energetically recreates Rimbaud's terrestrial adventures: from the Hooligan Poet and Seer in bohemian Paris, through the years as tough merchant and gun-runner in Africa, to end with his death aged thirty-seven in a Marseilles hospital. Cliff Forshaw's verse narrative allows us to glimpse Rimbaud's life, travels and the diverse characters he dealt with through the disillusioned poet's own eyes, offset by the reports and asides of those who knew and observed him.
