Rimbaud & the New Inquisition

“Traditions in literature are of course the last bloody yard fought for on the battlefield in the war between writers of a mediocre talent and those of a convulsively dull one. And Rimbaud seems to have learned at a ferocious pace that these people are beyond persuading and are best left to swing themselves from the gallows of their forever fixed mind-states. ”

This Blog is an extension of our website and presents what we want to share and promote.

Black Herald Press – a truly new world poetry, wide awake and, like any new animal, subject only to the ever-changing processes of adapting to any sudden biological condition. A poetry born of no schools or workshops, so ready now to assimilate new rhythms, syntax and visions; to embrace the ‘originality’ of any ontological word-harvest and the assimilation of ‘all’ new inscrutable realities; to leave the pen as the needle of a seismograph, recording and tracing again across the page only the polysemic and chaotic tremors of the world.

Editors: Paul Stubbs & Blandine Longre
