5.0 out of 5 stars Charles Nicholl reviews Carlile translation, June 4, 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: Rimbaud: The Works: A Season in Hell, Poems & Prose, Illuminations (Hardcover)
CHARLES NICHOLL, author of SOMEBODY ELSE: ARTHUR RIMBAUD IN AFRICA 1880-91 has written of Dennis J. Carlile's translation of RIMBAUD:THE WORKS.

"These are the best renditions of Rimbaud in English since
Wallace Fowlie's nearly forty years ago, and many of them surpass that high standard. These poems have been wrestled with, which is the very least they demand, and successfully brought back home. Carlile gets the difficult switches and swoops of tone mostly right, and the linguistic detail is impressive-- for 'un voix etraignait mon coeur gele' you can't get much better than 'a voice would hobble my frostbitten heart'."
