Rimbaud A Season In Hell

Started in London in April 1873, and finished in France that August.
It draws on his stifling - often violent - relationship with Verlaine, and
his discovery that poetry was not enough. He was the great poet of
the age, and he didn't have a pot to p*ss in. He wanted more.

That's how a poem should be read, with passion, energy and purpose...damn.

[@warlockofwordsreturnsrb4358]

That work of that quality was written by someone before the age of twenty is utterly gobsmacking, many of my favourite writers sang his praises in one form or another over the decades - William Burroughs, Samuel Beckett, HP Lovecraft called him a 'titan', Iain Sinclair, Jean Cocteau, the list goes on winding its way through most of the interesting writers in the world.

[@BeliaLastes]

Jim Morrison as well relished Rimbaud's work's

[@Johnconno]

Even Martin Amis said 'He drew from the same well as myself...' 😂

[@nihilioellipsis]

interesting to consider as well that Mary Shelley was only 19 when she wrote Frankenstein.

[@godloveszaza]

This isnt really shocking to the ones with brains. Yall underestimate kids and yall will pay the price for it everytime.

[@caretaker9343]

Oh Grace in child's dream, of feathered truth and trusting air. The will to be your most divine self is your rudder and the wind is the faith. When I found Rimbaud, I was home again. And my delirium of that day cast me in the sky, where the clouds still move me through this world.

[@zach11590]

This really helped me out alot in a time of trouble... still does. Thank you Rimbaud and all the people who worked on this version

[@low3242]

This is the greatest poetry reading I have ever heard. Utterly kino.

[@007shlomo]

Fantastic

[@Neuroneos]

This is an extremely good translation. Unlike most other translations, it conveys the young and irreverent spirit of Rimbaud perfectly. However, it is very incomplete. Bad Blood, for example, is half as long as the original one. The original Season in Hell text would take about an hour to read out loud.

[@AeolianSkinner]

I believe this was abridged for a radio broadcast.

[@phattadonnilphat7936]

@@AeolianSkinner it's from Selected Poems and Letters (Penguin Classics)

[@luciendante]

The homosexual bits have been taken out. Kind of awful they did that. But everything else was incredible.

[@whydidmyhandlechangefromAlice]

Says right in the intro „In this abridged radio realisation…“ Nonetheless this abridged version is 100x better than any full length version I’ve ever heard. It really comes to life here.

[@lCaavinga]

@@luciendante can u point what homosexual bits pls?

[@nickwiles3071]

Definitive. This reading, composition, is awesome. I will never read those words again without referring to this reading in my mind. Brings the thing to life eternal. Nice

[@joemartin9101]

Nick Wiles check out the movie Total Eclipse if you havent seen it

[@nickwiles3071]

Joe Martin yeah, liked Eclipse. Can recommend Graham Robb's book "Rimbaud". I found it informative and interesting. A good look into the poet's life.

[@garyrouyea8314]

Really enjoyed David Thewlis. And, of course, Leo was good. I need to try and get that. You'd think I'd already have the damned thing...

[@j.spenserthompson5458]

Beautifully rendered. Audio tricks perfectly integrated, not distracting. It's like a Shakespeare monologue when it's read by an actor.

[@paulkeitzke2064]

Excellent reading. Thank you

[@AeolianSkinner]

This was great! I listened to it while running in Central Park this afternoon escaping Corona quarantine for an hour. It was the perfect soundtrack coupled with all the springtime blossoms in full array (April 2020).

[@AeolianSkinner]

@@fletcherchristian2254 It was my great pleasure. Be well. :)

[@AeolianSkinner]

@@fletcherchristian2254 Several friends have since listened to, and also enjoyed your post.

[@fletcherchristian2254]

Aeolian there's a way you can keep this forever.... (I delete all my comments from time to time)....I just wanted to let you know that there is a free program called 4k downlaoder that allows you to dl up to 20 videos or just the audio from KZbin everyday. I think for a charge you get an upgrade with unlimited downloads but 20 or so is more than enough. I use the free version all the time. I remember all you kind words and comments...you are so cool....I'm in a tight spot here btw if you can please send some positive luck or thoughts my way....feeling a bit low and since I seem to know all the wrong people in this world I thought I would ask you....Pretty cheezy huh? No need to reply and thanks for cheering me up before.

[@draoicht22]

I like reading this from time to time and enjoy his view on society.

[@luciendante]

The omission of the gay part is unfortunate and really insulting. It was also one of the most human elements of this whole poem. Other than that this was a generous and incredible piece to hear.

[@adamgrimsley2900]

I like the gay part being removed

[@franciman2]

Just wonderful

[@1amjapan]

That was brilliant, thanks so much for sharing.

[@davidscharf188]

all true poets should hear this---and learn how to read a poem,especially at Poetry Readings...

Fletcher Christian why is this only a half version of the full poem?

[@arrow5599]

I fleed o wine o misery o hate

[@Human_Evolution-]

All other readings are now useless. Thanks a lot...

[@knohhuan3860]

So they left out the gay part but included the n word part OKAY

[@arrow5599]

Miss the stuff about looking thru jail bars

[@arrow5599]

I memorised a slightly different translation I sat beauty on my lap..

[@jamesnilphat1148]

14:48 my favorite part

[@bokehintheussr5033]

I think Rimbaud was a true visionary and seer. The bit where he writes about seeing carriages in the sky and "white nations" on the beaches. It sounds like he saw the invention of air travel. Like the kid was having hallucinatory visions and seeing into the future. He was certainly doing a lot of drugs: Hashish, Opium.

[@sophiasometimes9818]

Posted on Facebook wondering if anyone will listen and if they do I wonder if anyone will focus on the n word geez

[@Johnconno]

Didn't know Warhol did Rimbaud?

[@sophiasometimes9818]

I could have died there insufferable thought

[@Radhatter1]

Where Bob Dylan got his inspired

[@jnkdrgjhietoiuhdgruhiegr392]

IM confused. Is this just a season in hell? every version ive heard omits large chunks of this.

[@richardmeunster8743]

They cut out the gay part

[@sabrasalvia7720]

They did

[@angelohieronymous2692]

Lmao

[@tonyserrano5826]

What's the song named at 16:22?

[@tcaw8813]

It's Robert Wyatt, dunno the song think it may have written for this performance. Should check out his album rock bottom if interested in him

[@LivWildStyle]

Its Grah ... not grass.

[@xeraph02]

Sorry but I don't buy that this was written by someone before the age of twenty. Maybe Rimbaud lied about his age...

I dig the enthusiasm in delivery but the ducking obnoxious ringing sound makes the video unwatchable
