Anarchist? Piss taker? Genius? Ironically, the man who despised labelling, has had more hung on him than any since . . . _x001C_ I admire him. Not only because he truly believed he had done all he could for the form, but because he saw no future in it and stuck to his word._x001D_ Baudelaire Arthur Rimbaud left the genre of poetry a legacy; a poisoned challice which is still drunk from by all in search of the alternative side of the form. Dead at thirty-seven, having completed all of his works by the age of twenty and havng abandoned the genre as a folly, Rimbaud went on to live in Africa before returning to die in France. What remains is myth entangled with truth, lies entangled with hearsay and an enduring portrait of an artist who refused to be hemmed in by invisible or physical parameters. Paroxysm Press invite you to bring a Rimbaud poem and celebrate the man and his work in this tribute evening - one night in - a season in hell. m.c teri louise kelly.
