Win Tickets: Rimbaud and Verlaine at Kings Place

The lives of French poets Arthur Rimbaud and Paul Verlaine sound like something from a Rick Mayall sitcom. Theirs is a tale of forbidden love, drunken rows and cross-channel debauchery, with knife fights, a shooting and even a fish-slapping incident thrown in for bad measure. During a particularly stormy period in 1873, the two Frenchmen lived together at 8 Royal College Street, Camden Town, and there wrote some of their most enduring poetry.

The star cried rose into the core of your ears.
Infinity rolled white from your neck to your thighs.
The sea pearled red onto your crimson breast
and Man has bled black at your sovereign sides.
Arthur Rimbaud

New look for the site

The site has changed, still a blue layout, but a new banner. I colorized a black and white drawing of Arthur Rimbaud by Ernest Pignon-Ernest and used the colours of the poem "Vowels". I spent a lot of time on Arthur's blue eyes. The text in transparency is coming from the poem "Genie", one of my favourites.
