For the anniversary, in the fall of 2020, of the two visits of the Poet with soles of wind to Douai, my hometown, I wrote *Arthur Rimbaud, a Terrified Man in Douai*, which was intended to be a book; but a broken promise dictated otherwise; ultimately, it was published independently, in the form of a fanzine, and distributed modestly. Since then, Jacques Cauda, who created the illustrations, has offered to publish it in the collection he directs at Douro. I agreed, both for Arthur Rimbaud and for Douai, but I insisted that this work, to which I had already contributed Pascal Lenoir, Jean-Paul Gavard-Perret, and Jacques Cauda—JAAAck! as I call it—become more of a comrade's affair, a collective endeavor of poetry lived and shared. Then came other collaborations to celebrate Arthur Rimbaud, the 151st anniversary of the arrival in May 1871 of the two Letters of the Seer in Douai. This is not a book by specialists but a work by comrades who, each in their own way, express how the enfant terrible of French poetry, beyond the myth, is still present in our lives, the very lives he so hoped to see transformed by Poetry.
