Poems in Prose

A collection of fleeting, lyrical sketches, this volume invites listeners into the intimate world Baudelaire imagined for prose poetry. The pieces blend confession and experiment, turning ordinary moments into shimmering reflections on desire, memory, and the uncanny beauty of everyday sensations. The translation strives to preserve the original’s subtle rhythm, letting the language glide as naturally as a whispered thought.

Each vignette feels like a secret shared in the hush of night—whether it is the moon’s tender caress over a sleeping child, a restless yearning for an impossible ideal, or a dream of a hidden, opulent land beyond the familiar. The tone shifts from wistful reverie to sharp, almost staccato observation, capturing the pulse of the soul in brief, vivid bursts. Listeners will find themselves drawn into a series of luminous, thought‑provoking moments that linger long after the final line fades.
