So Happy Was Led To His Work!By StephieAnnMad I was reading a biography recently; this poets work was noted within the story; as well as bibliography. The excerpts of one particular work of his peaked my interest. I then researched the authors life; as well as previewing the free preview - I was absolutely drawn in. Madman? For You to Decide!!1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. The Many Voices of BaudelaireBy Jack M. HaringaWhile this may not be the most accurate collection of Baudelaire translations; it is the most interesting. The editors assembled a complete translation of Les Fleurs du Mal as an anthology of efforts from poets and translators of wide notoriety. Some labor to preserve idiom; others focus on form; still others let their own poetic impulses rise through the language of Baudelaire. There is some beautiful work here; notably from writers as eclectic as Robert Lowell; Edna St. Vincent Millay; Anthony Hecht; and Stanley Kunitz. Baudelaires themes are consistently apparent; and the translators varying perspectives add a level of poeticism sometimes lost in more slavish adherence to the original text.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful.
