Review title: Great Idea, Horribly Boring Translation
Product review: The complete works of Arthur Rimbaud is a truly a treasure to have and a necessity to the library of any lover of the poetic form. Unfortunately, in this collection Wyatt Mason renders Rimbaud sterile of all the visceral poetic beauty his works possess and reduces it to a modernized, lifeless and hum drum banality that does it a great disservice. Do yourself a favor and get Louise Varese's beautifully magisterial versions of A Season In Hell and Illuminations and if you want more go with Wallace Fowlie's translations for all the odds and ends and a more faithfully literal translation.
