{"product_id":"a-season-in-hell-the-drunken-boat","title":"A Season in Hell and The Drunken Boat 2e","description":"New Directions is pleased to announce the relaunch of the long-celebrated bilingual edition of Rimbaud’s A Season In Hell \u0026amp; The Drunken Boat — a personal poem of damnation as well as a plea to be released from “the examination of his own depths.”Rimbaud originally distributed A Season In Hell to friends as a self-published booklet, and soon afterward, at the age of nineteen, quit poetry altogether. New Directions’s edition was among the first to be published in the U.S., and it quickly became a classic. Rimbaud’s famous poem “The Drunken Boat” was subsequently added to the first paperbook printing. Allen Ginsberg proclaimed Arthur Rimbaud as “the first punk” — a visionary mentor to the Beats for both his recklessness and his fiery poetry.   This new edition proudly dons the original Alvin Lustig–designed cover, and a introduction by another famous rebel — and now National Book Award–winner — Patti Smith.","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57481672098165,"sku":"9780811219488","price":11.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9780811219488.jpg?v=1786089959","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/a-season-in-hell-the-drunken-boat","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
