Rrose Selavys Baudelaires Flowers draws inspiration from Charles Baudelaire, an 18th-century French Romantic and Symbolist poet who authored the poetry volume Flowers of Evil (Les Fleurs du Mal). Through the book, Rrose communicates a sense of melancholy and boredom in his purgatory of idleness. However, the book also depicts a journey of rebirth and ascension, symbolizing the narrow path to enlightenment.
Rrose quotes William Blakes Auguries of Innocence: To see infinity in a grain of sand and heaven in a wildflower, likening himself to a wildflower. He sees himself as a hippie who only desires to get high, write poetry, and play music. Rrose dedicates his book to his father and `his former love, Marie.
Baudilares Flowers is a compelling and evocative book of poems ready to capture the hearts of its readers. The book is for everyone, especially poets and romantics, who see life as beautiful as the wildflowers of spring, beckoning anyone as it fully blooms.
