Jean Nicolas Arthur Rimbaud was a French poet known for his transgressive and surreal themes, and his influence on modern literature and arts, prefiguring surrealism.

During his late adolescence and early adulthood he produced the bulk of his literary output, then completely stopped writing literature at age 20, after assembling his last major work, Illuminations.
