Baudelaire - Botanist Of The Sidewalk

Charles Baudelaire was the original flâneur poet, embodying the spirit of the curious wanderer. One hundred and fifty years after his death, join Poet in the City and the Rimbaud and Verlaine Foundation as we traverse the psychogeography of the city and explore the extraordinary impact of this writer through discussion and poetry.

They will be joined by modern day Flâneuse Lauren Elkin, Professors Helen Abbott and Matthew Beaumont, and performance artist Dylan Read to tell the story of the father of flâneurie and celebrate his resounding legacy.

Mingle with us amongst the crowd on the boulevard...
