Overview

Gender is a construct, and the girl chunk of that make believe is coming after one of poetry's most romanticized males! In her first ever translation, Elaine Benes (Baby Marie-Antoinette on Bambi Muse and HTML Giant ) invades Charles Baudelaire's legendary Les Fleurs du mal and reconstitutes it in the image of a girl. With attitude, pornography, and candy, Benes does to Baudelaire's poems what America does to the world. Unhinged and unchecked, Sick Flowers is terrifying and tenacious.
