It's Isadora's favorite book, according to Lemony's official site--and quite interesting.

Well, maybe Flowers of Evil has a meaning...like in TBB:RE it talks about howa plant is a distraction from the main bowl or dish, and it was like, talking about an ivy plant or something, and the main thing was the sugar bowl........eh, forget it, I forgot.

Here's the thread on Prufrock which has the translation. Very weird and intriguing. The poets that Lemony alludes to have alluded to each other as well.
