Slope archiveIn 1871, a sixteen-year old boy called Arthur Rimbaud arrived in Paris from the provinces with his poems and little else. When this child genius sailed for Africa five years later, he had left an alcohol-fuelled trail of devastation: wrecked relationships and an outraged society - but in the process he had revolutionised world literature, defining the course that radical poetry would take throughout the 20th century. He would never write a line of poetry again. Slope contemplates the nature of addiction and the nature of desire: what attracts us to the things that damage us? What is it that makes some people eventually sink under, while others walk away? Slope takes a new look at the relationship between Rimbaud and Verlaine, and the chaos that fired their creativity.
