The Flowers of Evil: (Les Fleurs Du Mal) Hardcover - 2021
by Charles Baudelaire; Aaron Poochigian (Translator); Introduction by Dana Gioia
From the rear cover
"These arresting, often moving translations of Baudelaire's intoxicating verse, ingenious in their handling of the poet's characteristic rhythms, rhymes, and diction, will surprise and delight a generation of new readers. The 'distinctive skill' of their translator, Aaron Poochigian, to echo phrases from Baudelaire himself, render the poems 'incontrovertibly beautiful.'"
--Matthew Beaumont, author of The Walker: On Finding and Losing Yourself in the Modern City
"It was time for a new version of Baudelaire's great sequence, and Aaron Poochigian has provided one remarkable for its vigor and prosodic skill. Reading these poems, we are alternately shaken by Baudelaire's demonic flouting of genteel convention and lulled by their musical sensuousness. Poochigian takes several approaches to the translator's task, sometimes reinventing the poems in contemporary demotic speech and sometimes developing a grave elevation of tone. Most definitely recommended."
--Alfred Corn, translator of Rainer Maria Rilke's Duino Elegies
"A breaker of rules and defier of decorum, Baudelaire was nevertheless impeccable in his observation of the etiquette of French verse. Aaron Poochigian finds an English equivalent for his technical finesse--in an assertive blend of full and slant rhymes and fluent iambs--while keeping him not just modern, but contemporary, in a jaunty, informal idiom. Baudelaire's almost claustrophobic melancholy and 'spleen' seem freshly relevant for a world still emerging from the throes of pandemic, quarantine, and lockdown."
--A. E. Stallings, author of Like
