About this episode
Welcome to Celebrate Poe - this is episode 318 - DeQuincy, Baudelaire, and Poe - Part One
Recently, I ran across a book about Charles Baudelaire called A Portrait of the Artist as a Drug Addict. There is no question about it - According to the author - Charles Baudelaire, the translator of Edgar Allan Poe's works, was a heavy user of opium. Baudelaire wrote extensively about his experiences with opium and other drugs in his book (Artificial Paradises), published in 1860.
This episode is the first in a series of podcasts that examine the opium use of Baudelaire, De Quincey, and Poe.
