[New York: , 1974]. Signed by Smith First edition, number 45 of an unspecified number of copies numbered and signed by Smith. The broadside for the third Rock n' Rimbaud event on 27 October 1974, with a printed poem, a portrait of a young Rimbaud, and a facsimile of his signature and an inscription by Smith. The event was conceived by Smith and the guitarist Lenny Kaye on the occasion of the French poet's birthday. Rimbaud was a lifelong inspiration to Smith, and she likened his appeal to those of 20th century musical icons: "If he had been living in our time, he would have been on the Mount Olympus of rock gods along with Jimi Hendrix and Jim Morrison and Bob Dylan and people like that because he had all the components: he was experimental, irreverent but spiritual, a visionary... There's certain works I did when, whether or not Rimbaud is referenced in them, he was in my mind, such as Piss Factory, Radio Ethiopia, Land, and Easter" (interview in The Independent, 18 October 2007). Smith, who in 2017 purchased Rimbaud's childhood home, has continued to celebrate Rimbaud's birthday intermittently since 1972. Original photographic broadside (242 x 159 mm), offset printed in black on semi-glossy white stock. A fine copy.
