Title: Penguin and Bernard (most notably) should be ashamed
Review: Without a doubt, Penguins Collected poems of Arthur Rimbaud is one of the most self-flatulent collaborations of any poet...this says nothing about Rimbaud, I believe Arthur was one of the most brilliant and furthermore inspirational poets of ANY time... But it is this anthology that has botched translations to the point of misrepresenting Rimbaud's Raucous and original voice, turning him into an Aristocrat of language when it is well know he was a vagabond, with a street smart vocabulary...furthermore, Rimbaud's poem Depart, was utterly underscored by Bernard's trnaslation, leaving out entire lines written by the poet.....if you need a better source for Rimbaud's work, refernce further A Season in Hell & Illuminations Translated by Bertrand Mathieu.....thank you and goodnight.
