Jeremy John Ratter
(born 8 June 1943), better known as Penny "Lapsang" Rimbaud, is a
writer, poet, philosopher, painter, musician and activist. He was a member of
the performance art groups EXIT and Ceres Confusion, and in 1972 was co-founder
of the Stonehenge Free Festival, together with Phil Russell aka Wally Hope.
In
1977, alongside Steve Ignorant, he co-founded the seminal anarchist punk band
Crass, who disbanded in 1984. Up until 2000 he devoted himself almost entirely
to writing, returning to the public platform in 2001 as a performance poet
working alongside Australian saxophonist Louise Elliott and a wide variety of
jazz musicians under the umbrella of Penny Rimbaud's Last Amendment.
