For the anniversary, in the fall of 2020, of the two performances of The Poet with the Soles of Winds in Douai, my hometown, I wrote Arthur Rimbaud, un effaré en Douai which was to be the subject of a book; but an unfulfilled promise decided otherwise; finally, it was as a free-shooter, and in the form of a fanzine that this work was published, distributed modestly. Since then, Jacques Cauda who had done the illustrations, offered to publish it in the collection he directs at Douro, I agreed for Arthur Rimbaud as much as for Douai but I wanted this work to which I had already associated Pascal Lenoir, Jean-Paul Gavard-Perret and Jacques Cauda, JAAAck! as I call it, to become more of a Comrades affair, a collective affair of poetry experienced in sharing. So other collaborations are coming to celebrate Arthur Rimbaud, the 151st anniversary of the arrival in May 1871 of the two Letters from the Seer in Douai. This is not a book of specialists but a work of Comrades who, each, in their own way, express how the enfant terrible of French poetry, beyond the myth, is still present in our lives, this life that he so hoped to see changed by Poetry.
