{"product_id":"9781681378282","title":"Flowers of Evil","description":"\u003cb\u003eSeminal, inspired translations of one of the greatest poets of all time by Edna St. Vincent Millay and George Dillon, now available in a sleek new edition.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt's no exaggeration to say that Charles Baudelaire invented modern poetry. \u003ci\u003eFlowers of Evil\u003c\/i\u003e has been a bible for poets from Rimbaud to T.S. Eliot to Edna St.  Vincent Millay, who, with Georges Dillon, brought out an inspired rhymed  version of the book in 1936. Here it is reprinted, with the French  originals, for the first time in many years. Millay and Dillon's  versions are virtuosic in their handling of rhyme and meter, and their  take on the \u003ci\u003eFlowers of Evil\u003c\/i\u003e as a whole is among the most persuasive English, capturing in flowing  lines comparable to Baudelaire's the tortured consciousness and  troubling sensuality that are his opulent music's counterpart. The book  also allows readers a new appreciation of the range of Millay's own  achievement as a poet and translator.","brand":"Charles Baudelaire","offers":[{"title":"New York Review Books |  Paperback \/ softback | Trade paperback (US) |  2024-04-23","offer_id":44663221780735,"sku":"9781681378282","price":26.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0329\/9075\/7001\/files\/BNCImageAPI_e8971a41-b1d2-469a-ba7c-0c7b0e041916.jpg?v=1704534405","url":"https:\/\/riverbookshop.com\/products\/9781681378282","provider":"River Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
