Charles baudelaire
1821 – 1867, French
Selected Poems
Translated with an Introduction by
Carol Clark
In both his life and his poetry, Baudelaire
pushed the accepted limits of his time. His
dissolute bohemian life was as shocking
to his nineteenth-century readers as
was his poetry. Writing in classical style
but with brutal honesty, Baudelaire laid
bare human suffering, aspirations, and
perversions.
