    Poems are okay, but the formatting sucks
  

*by C***K on Reviewed in the United States on February 18, 2010*

While I was not exactly thrilled with the poetry in this book, what bothers me most are the many formatting mistakes. Two spaces when there should be one; new lines when there shouldn't be; one word, like "The," causing one line to be on two; and other seemingly minute errors that bothered me through the entire book. I am not a literature or a poetry buff, nor do I claim to know French; but I do have some writing and editing experience, and I can read. The publisher of this book insults me with these errors and I feel like I was used by paying for shotty formatting. As for the poems themselves, I guess they're okay. They weren't really my cup of tea, but they weren't horrible. I had no prior knowledge of Baudelaire before buying this book, and don't plan on buying another one of his books.

    Is true translation of poetry even possible?
  

*by C***S on Reviewed in the United States on June 25, 2018*

I am a fan of Baudelaire’s dark poetry, and can read most of it in French. Though these are probably the best English translations, they are not true to the originals. How can you rhyme in English something that rhymes in French? I would rather have the literal translations. Also, the French and English sections are separate. For a close reading, the translations should appear on the same page spread to prevent flipping back and forth.

    The Many Voices of Baudelaire
  

*by J***A on Reviewed in the United States on October 31, 2013*

While 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. Baudelaire's themes are consistently apparent, and the translators' varying perspectives add a level of poeticism sometimes lost in more slavish adherence to the original text.
