Lol. "The Jim Morrison of poets". Pretty sure Morrison wanted to be the "Rimbaud of rock stars".
Anyway been a fan since highschool and wanted to share, though its sort of tangential, but there's a pretty decent movie about Rimbaud's progression ft. Leonardo DiCaprio from the mid 90's called Total Eclipse. It's worth a watch if you're a fan.
I got excited and thought at first glance this was referencing the film about Arthur Rimbaud before I saw the date. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Total_Eclipse_(film))
Confusion aside, I'll definitely give this a read!
