At the age of sixteen, in May 1871, Arthur Rimbaud wrote his two Seer Letters. While a bloody uprising rages in Paris, Rimbaud informs two friends that he wants to be a poet. He announces a new language, an objective poetry that should not be received by society, but rather in the unknown. A poetry of the unbinding of all senses, a liberation, a revolt, a triumph over the morality of bourgeois society: I is another.
