Richard Howard
"Paul Schmidt has waveredno, has hoveredbetween solicitude and critique, and the result of such suspension is his beautiful, daring, careful work; we have all tried our hand as this, and more than a hand is needed, and has here been bestowed. The whole mannothing less will do, and what I am grateful for is the willingness to risk a vision, a sighting of not only the art but the life of the most baffling and suggestive of our exemplary failures. If there were such a thing as Parallel Lives of the nineteenth century, then Paul Schmidt's Rimbaud would have to be read beside Auden's Keirkegaard. Creative misreading, or let me say, with my admiring breath held, critical markings! It is a wonder that so much concern has been taken, been given, though less a wonder than a benefaction when we recall that concern means no more than a sifting, a winnowing by the senses. The book is the most valuable sieve yet, and serves us the Rimbaud that matters in its fine mesh."
Raymond Sokolov, Newsday
"Arthur Rimbaud was a disreputable, mean, ruthless, perverse, hateful wretch. He was also one of the greatest poet who ever lived...
"Schmidt has tackled poems, prose, and letters. He has adopted a new and persuasive chronological arrangement of the work. And he has nimbly compressed the life of the poet into engaging prefaces for each of the eight 'seasons.'...Schmidt has truly made Rimbaud his won. Like every good translation, his is an interpretation. And it is a matter of some astonishment to me that he has done as well as he has with lyrics that, in theory, ought to defy transfer into another language. He has found a tone, pr perhaps it is an idiom, that works."
