"I came to grasp the tenderness and generosity of these poems in a way I hadn't before, the kindness traversing them and the openness to experience they require." @ronjaunee speaks with Nathan Brown about his translation of Baudelaire's "Flowers Of Evil." lareviewofbooks.org/article/…

Nathan Brown's superb new translation of "The Flowers of Evil" (as well as its companion, "Baudelaire's Shadow") is a major event, so come out to celebrate April 11 at the Francis Kite Club in NYC. Nathan is reading, I'll play solo, and Lara Allen DJs: franciskiteclub.com/calendar…

Baudelaire has an entrancing morbidity and syntactical elegance that makes fluid translation difficult. In our latest post, @alienvsrobbins reviews a new translation of Baudelaire guided by “sense and syntax.” Read here: books.substack.com/p/review-… @versobooks

Following Baudelaire through 19th-century Paris, Matthew Beaumont discovers a parallel archetype to the flaneur — the convalescent hero of modernity — who emerges from the sickbed into city streets with a feverish curiosity: buff.ly/3dOO9AF

This new edition of Baudelaire's infamous work adds the poems banned from the original 1857 publication to the expanded collection of 1861 and includes an introduction from the translator, acclaimed poetry scholar Nathan Brown.

Kirill Chepurin’s *Bliss Against the World: Schelling, Theodicy, and the Crisis of Modernity* is almost out. If this isn’t your most anticipated philosophy book of the year, it should be. A work of genius that radically cuts to the very core of thought, and then cuts it up

Replying to @aufgehenderRest
@aufgehenderRest has created a phenomenal episode yet again, this time on F. Schlegel & Novalis✨Dr. Nathan Brown @redwithoutwhy was a joy to listen to, and I’ll definitely be anticipating his forthcoming work on Jena Romanticism.
