CHARLES BAUDELAIRE

POEMS IN PROSE

Poems translated by Arthur Symons

Charles Baudelaire (1821-1867) was a celebrated 19th century French poet, author of the famous Flowers of Evil poetic sequence, first published in 1857. Baudelaire is a poet’s poet par excellence, a brilliant craftsman who produced some of the finest poems in the French language. Baudelaire was known as a dandy who led a bohemian lifestyle; he knew many of the artists of the era (Manet, Nadar, Delacroix, and Gautier). Baudelaire’s influence on subsequent poets and artists has been immense.

This edition of Baudelaire’s prose poems is a selection by British author Arthur Symons. The book includes two introductions to Baudelaire.

With the French text of Baudelaire’s poetry.

Illustrated. 92 pages. Paperback, with a full colour cover.
