Overview
Brandon Brown's Flowering Mall transforms Baudelaire to revive what Rob Fitterman calls the "punk spirit that is French Symbolism." Drifting through the Bay Area with his friends and lovers, Brown's boulevardier discovers the hunger of undead poetry for more scornful representations of our silly human culture, resurrecting Fleur du Mal only to use it to drive a stake through the heart of his cravings. Camille Roy says, "It's nothing like porn but it does deliver hysteria of recognition at our dear appetites, dashing towards the rotten social body." And dashing that body on the rocks beneath the Golden Gate in a continuing round of consumption and excess. The writing's like that, too.
