You can read the review here – I’ve ordered a copy of the book as I think it’ll give some fascinating insights on one of the more significant poet relationships of the 20th Century.

My favourite quote:

One would have to be a genius oneself to grasp the full significance of Arthur Rimbaud, or at least have the ability to hold many opposed ideas in one’s mind at the same time and still function fully.
