A Season in Hell by Arthur Rimbaud

A Season in Hell is one of the great works of modern literature. It is published here in a bilingual edition together with many of the verse poems which Rimbaud wrote between March 1870 and August 1872. A Season in Hell was Rimbaud's literary testament, his apology and a contribution to the mythology of his time. Norman Cameron (1905-53) was born in India and educated at Fettes College and Oriel College, Cambridge. He worked as a superintendent of Education in Nigeria, before becoming an advertising copywriter in London. During the 1930s he was a frequent contributor to Geoffrey Grigson's New Verse. He was awarded an MBE for his propaganda work during the war, and served with British forces in Austria until 1947, when he returned to London and advertising. In addition to his translations of Rimbaud, he published several collections of poetry including The Winter House (1935) and Work in Hand (1942). His Collected Poems (edited by Warren Hope and Jonathan Barker) was published by Anvil in 1990.

Arthur Rimbaud composed some of the most enduring poetry in global literature. He was a poet of logical revolts, sexual liberation, ardent modernist, Symbolist, and inspiration to beatniks, conceptual artists, and punks. From 1870 and 1875, he worked for only five years, during which time he penned his most famous prose poetry, Une Saison en enfer (A SEASON IN HELL, Green Landtern Publishing, 2010) and Illuminations. FESTIVALS OF PATIENCE: THE VERSE POEMS OF ARTHUR RIMBAUD (Kenning Editions, 2021) is his first book.
