La cometa

Quel mio amore per lui aveva ali di cera – lunghe le ali sembravano eterne – battevano il cielo sicure, sfioravano picchi, puntavano al sole con nervature nervine –

Fuse le ali mi ricrescono dentro; soltanto ora, perdute, mi diventano vere, e ai cuori incauti grido: la passione è un fantasma troppo importante, uomini, per potersi incarnare –

I have spare copies of my recent English translations of Baudelaire's The Flowers of Evil and Fanfarlo.

DM if you're interested in purchasing signed-by-the-translator copies of either book.

Details (Fanfarlo):

Two of my recent translations of important works by Charles Baudelaire are published simultaneously today by Incunabula.

The Flowers of Evil is Baudelaire's seminal poetry collection and is rightfully regarded as one of the most influential poetry collections ever...

Fanfarlo is Baudelaire's semi-autobiographical novella that charts his tempestuous relationship with 'exotic' dancer, Jeanne Duval. It is Baudelaire's only sustained work of prose fiction.

Book details:

Two new translations from Incunabula - Charles Baudelaire's The Flowers of Evil, and Fanfarlo.
