When did Arthur Rimbaud stop writing poetry?

Arthur Rimbaud effectively ceased his literary career in 1875, after which his life was characterized by silence regarding his work as a poet. While he had previously declared a total devotion to his vocation as a poet in 1871, he abandoned his literary pursuits entirely by 1875 to travel and seek his fortune as an explorer and trader in the East Indies, Egypt, and eventually Ethiopia.12

Although his earlier works gained significant acclaim in France during the 1880s—notably through the publication of Illuminations—Rimbaud himself had moved on from his literary past, focusing his remaining years on his commercial ambitions until his death in 1891.1
