Classical 19th century French poetry from Baudelaire, Rimbaud, De Musset, Verlaine and Signoret. The gritty core of realism in this work reveals with a lurid intensity their world of the strange and sordid, the mystical and the vulgar, the fantastic and pain, the underlying brutality of the social reality, the intoxifications…And the beauty. These translations closely-retain the rhythmical pattern and literal content of their original French forms, taking advantage of sophisticated poetic techniques and the 21st century modern English language. They are constructed with precision and accuracy, unencumbered by the French originals in order to ascertain a truer and more-complete meaning behind these timeless masterpieces. This volume pairs with the translations a selection of the translator’s original poems, written in English and French.copyright C.L. Wriggs Publishing House (2020).
