Best Rimbaud Translation?

I'm having trouble finding a good translation of Arthur Rimbaud's complete works... I find they vary greatly? I realise there may not be a difinitive translation, but which do you regard as the best?

2002 is hardly "brand new"....

Anyway, the best translation of Rimbaud's poems is supposed to be Fowlie's from the 1960s, except that there are mistakes. However, there is now a new edition of this translation, with corrections and additions:

Somebody else's opinion on these translations:
