My favourite poets and writers
1. Arthur Rimbaud
Arthur Rimbaud was a French Symbolist/Decadent poet. He was born in 1854, in Charleville, but later spent his life travelling across Northern Africa. He is generally considered to be a predecessor of the Surrealists.
His only two works are Une Saison en Enfer (1873) and Illuminations (1874).
2. Edgar Allan Poe
Edgar Allan Poe was an American poet and writer, considered by many to be the founder of the
detective genre. His work is known for its dark, gothic-esque themes.
