5.0 out of 5 stars
O, where have you gone, Baudelaire?
Flowers of Evil is teeming with imagery that is, at times, lofty, and others, bitter. My favorite edition is the 1955 New Directions Paperbook edition. He was truly a poet who lived and thought rather than the masses who merely muse on living. Read his poetry and step lightly through the flowers.

I know a better translation.
Rather than this edition, I suggest Crosby's translation (Boa Publication). In it he has captured not only the meaning of B's poems, but maintained the music (rhythm and rhyme) of the poetry as well
