Description

Synopsis Paul Verlaine, living in 19th century Paris, led an extraordinarily adventurous life. Beset with difficulties with alcohol, his poetry would come to be known as the best of its time. Recently married, Verlaine received a letter from the young Arthur Rimbaud, asking to come to Paris. Verlaine agreed, and so began one of the most fruitful and destructive relationships in world letters. They travelled to London, then on to Brussels. One day, drunk, Verlaine bought a pistol, and after an argument, shot Rimbaud in the wrist. This book is a poetic exploration addressed to Paul Verlaine. There is some discussion of Verlaine's life and work, but mostly Verlaine is used as a sounding board to express a myriad of poetic brevities. The work is one of prose poetry.
