YA
After breaking up with her older girlfriend/patron, painter and graffiti artist Merle happens upon a mystical, aging rock legend who gives her the key (literally) to a doorway in time. An evening sharing visionary dreams with sixteen-year-old Arthur Rimbaud inspires both burgeoning artists. This impassioned ode to free-spirited artists introduces readers to the nineteenth-century French poet who influenced generations of counterculture artists.
