Book excerpt: "Krueger navigates the time and space of Le Spleen de Paris, treating Baudelaire's singular prose poem genre (both the individual pieces and their relationship to one another), demonstrating how poetry in prose provides a medium for Baudelaire's poetics of procrastination, hesitation, digression, and the killing of time (wasting it, nullifying it). Close readings reveal a convergence of narrative, temporal progression, and (would-be) linear movement in space, most often treated thematically in prose poems about travel, and echoed structurally in instances of repetition, intertextuality, and intratextuality." "The Art of Procrastination is applicable to Baudelaire scholars and their students in French and Comparative Literature, as well as to readers interested in cultural studies (particularly the cultural relativity of the experience of temporality), theories of literary genre, narrative and poetry."--BOOK JACKET.
