Drunken Boats

In between two new and previously unpublished poems, Alan Jenkins offers his refreshing translation of Rimbauds’ masterpiece: ’Le Bateau ivre’. With images by Rimbaud, Verlaine, and Bill Pownall (whose work was a source of inspiration for the poems here), this cahier sails down several rivers, placid and turbulent, and finds there more than one drunken boat.
