"A small gathering of verse for Slavitt fans, a translation of all forty-two poems of the Roman fabulist Avianus... His versions are energetic, taut affairs." -- Times Literary Supplement
"More sophisticated and cynical than Aesop, Avianus probes beneath received wisdom to turn up some unexpected morals. Even younger readers might appreciate these 'fables with an attitude,' graced by impeccable dress and manners." -- Library Journal
David R. Slavitt, poet, novelist, critic, and journalist, has published more than fifty books. His translations include the Metamorphoses of Ovid, The Fables of Avianus, the & quot;Eclogues& quot; and & quot;Georgics& quot; of Virgil, and Seneca: The Tragedies, Vols. 1 and 2, all available from Johns Hopkins.
