description: Rimbaud called him "le premier voyant, roi des poetes, un vrai dieu," and the history of modern poetry, which begins with him, has bourn out that opinion. This is a comprehensive new translation of all of Baudelaire's poetry, excluding only the juvenilia, occasional verse and work of doubtful attribution. Baudelaire contemplated a volume of poems that would "launch him into the future like a cannonball," and here it is in vivid and formally authoritative translation.
