An introduction

Well this blog is new and I cannot possibly imagine how anyone will manage to find it, but I figure it is mostly for my own benefit at this point. I haven't quite gotten started on the actual mechanics of the poetry yet but I figured I would start with some random information about what's going on.

I am hoping to get through the 1868 edition of Les Fleurs du Mal, an edition that was published posthumously and includes about 14 poems that were unpublished during Baudelaire's lifetime.

I have not figured out a system yet. This is entirely a fly-by-the-seat-of-my-pants endeavor and I hope I can get something out of it.

Stay tuned, imaginary audience!
