Writers. ElizabethHand.com. Arthur Rimbaud. A volatile and peripatetic poet, the prodigy Arthur Rimbaud wrote all of his poetry in a space of less than five years.
His poem "Voyelles" invoked synesthesia, marking him as a founder of French symbolism, and his Une Saison en Enfer (A Season in Hell) is considered one of the first works of free verse. His poetry was subconsciously inspired and highly suggestive; his persona was caustic and unstable. Though brilliant, during his life his peers regarded him as perverse, unsophisticated, and youthfully arrogant, and he died virtually indifferent to his own work. Jean-Nicolas-Arthur Rimbaud was born October 20, 1854, in the small French town Charleville. His father, an army captain, abandoned the family when he was six. His school shut down in 1870 during the Franco-Prussian War, and the young Rimbaud took the opportunity to seek adventure, running away from home twice. Rimbaud returned to Charleville and wrote a large portion of Une Saison en Enfer (A Season in Hell).

Kathy Acker: So this is like a serious interview ... Jeanette Winterson, stone gods, oranges are not the only fruit, Jeanette Winterson latest news, Jeanette Winterson journalism, Jeanette Winterson monthly column. Baroness Ruth Rendell. She has also written that she cannot imagine what it may feel like to kill someone.
These statements may come as a surprise from a writer who has made the main focus of her books the investigations in the psychology of deviant individuals placed at the margins of society. Yet, it may be for this attitude that, as fellow novelist Patrick Gale observes, 'Rendell writes about people as coolly as a behaviourist observing the effects of fear or pain on laboratory rats.' Rendell’s production can be divided into three genres. Her first novel From Doon with Death (1964) introduces the character of Inspector Wexford and the fictional Southern town of Kingsmarkham which represents a microcosm of society. Her second book To Fear a Painted Devil (1965) was the first of her crime thrillers not to contain the reassuring presence of Wexford. Contrary to P. Whether written as Rendell or Vine, her books have made more tenuous the line dividing popular and serious literature.
