"Poetry will no longer punctuate the action, it will be forward.", says Arthur Rimbaud. So what does it mean to be forward? To advance in front of humanity, to work for the liberation of humanity.

It is to understand the scope of this ethics that this reflection seeks. Fundamentally, works like A Season in Hell or Illuminations do not build anything that does not seek to collapse. And Rimbaud's rapid and radical journey was nothing more than a succession of seasons, resembling Christ-like stations, communalist crises or tamed delusions, all inefficient by their participation in the discourses of the world. But if Rimbaldian poetics emerges from itself, to the point of disappearing, it is also to engage an ethics in the reader, returned to the immaturity of the game and the freedom of meaning.
