Features: Lang Lang Study Room · Complete Works of Henry Miller. Henry Miller was a controversial writer who always evoked extreme emotions in readers. Those who loved him loved him to death, and those who hated him hated him just as fiercely. Whether it was extreme love or hatred, no one could ignore him. "The Age of the Killers" is an essay on Rimbaud, in which Henry Miller analyzes Rimbaud and his works, proposing that poets and their works should be treated fairly. The author then predicts that this practice of murdering poets will soon come to an end. Once the voice of a poet is stifled, history loses meaning, and the end of the world will dawn like a new, terrifying dawn upon human consciousness.
