    #Charles Baudelaire, poete maudit, the self-styled "Satanic man" whose collection THE FLOWERS OF EVIL (Les Fleurs du Mal) is marked by paeans to sexual degradation such as "The Litanies Of Satan" and "Metamorphosis Of The Vampire."

THE FLOWERS OF EVIL is now presented in a brand new translation that vividly brings Baudelaire's masterpiece to life for the new millennium. This volume also includes key texts from Baudelaire's ARTIFICIAL PARADISE, his notorious examination of the effects of intoxication by alcohol and psychotropic drugs. In "On Wine And Hashish" and "The Poem Of Hashish," Baudelaire brilliantly evokes the agony and ecstasy of addiction.

     Like most young hot shots, I made mistakes. Big ones. But Bonnie Pinkett wasn’t one of them. She deserved better. She was perfect. And me…Well, I was the star basketball player who dumped her for fame and fortune. Sure, I’ve been married over the years—shotgun weddings that didn’t mean a damn thing. But now I’m older. Wiser. A man who knows what he wants. Bonnie. The moment I saw her at the game, I fell in love all over again.

Neither of us wants to live in the past. And we’re not foolish college kids anymore. We have a shot at rekindling something that should’ve never burnt out. I just hope Bonnie can forgive and forget.
