Illuminations
Rimbaud, Arthur. BOA Editions, 1979 (1st Ed. Thus). Softbound. Translated by Betrand Mathieu. Foreword and cover lithograph by Henry Miller. Design by Janet Zweig. 'The Poet makes himself a voyant through a long, immense and reasoned deranging of all his senses,' wrote Rimbaud in his famous 'Lettre du voyant' to Paul Demeny. And Henry Miller, whose lithograph, Clownesque, graces the cover of this beautiful Visual Studies Workshop production, mused, 'A clown is a poet in action. . . . This is the message which the clown is trying to convey to us, that we should participate through the ceaseless flow and movement, that we should not stop to reflect, compare, analyze, possess, but flow on and through, endlessly, like music.'
Tight, square, uncreased spine. Clean, unmarked interior. Price to back cover has been blacked out. Only very gentle wear. 141 pp. Featured Rare & Collectible.
