This be the verse: 13 ~ A Carcass – Charles Baudelaire

We couldn’t have a series of poems from the darker side of the spectrum without this particular poet, could we?

Ladies & Gentlemen, I give you the Don of Decadence; the Grand-Père of the Grotesque; the Sire of Splenetics. Yes, it’s Monsieur Fleur du Mal, himself ~ Charles Baudelaire!

This be the verse: 5 ~ Charon – Louis MacNeice

Yesterday, we had David Callin in search of Louis MacNeice and today we have the man himself crossing boundaries.

This is Charon from MacNeice’s 1963, posthumously published collection, The Burning Perch.
