What are your favorite arthur rimbaud poems? I have a book of his work and am wondering if I should just read it chronologically or if I should focus on a few of his more famous poems? What poems is he most known for?

He's mostly know for Illuminations (a collection of prose poems), A Season in Hell (a long prose poem), and The Drunken Boat (a long poem). I've only read the first two, which I recommend highly, and some of his earlier work, which was a bit lackluster. So my advice to you would be to seek out his prose poetry, that's what he does best in my opinion.
Read him like you feel it. He is most known for:
Le Bateau Ivre
Une saison en enfer (I know it's not a poem)
Sensations
Voyelles
Le Dormeur du val
Ma bohème
Morts de Quatre-vingt-douze
Oraison du soir
Ophélie, La Comédie de la soif and Le bateau ivre are my favorite
