Summary:Sexology and sexual taboos had an enormous influence on Rimbaud’s poetry. Rimbaud devised a number of queer strategies—particularly queer metaphor—in order to comment on his sexuality obliquely in an increasingly homophobic age. This essay argues that queer studies should pay more, and more systematic, attention to these strategies and put an end to a long-standing heteronormative uneasiness characteristic of the reception of Rimbaud’s work.
