Trade Paperback. A new copy. A vivid, contemporary translation of the greatest Greek love poet by the prize-winning poet and translator. Sappho's lyric love poems, composed in the seventh century B.C.E., transcend time and place and continue to enchant readers today. Though her extant work consists only of a collection of fragments and a handful of complete poems, the passionate elegance of her musings on life and death, loss and longing, desire, and nature speak volumes. Willis Barnstone's vivid, contemporary translation, along with his introduction and notes, sheds new light on the spirit and mystique of this ancient Greek poet. This edition is an abridgment of The Complete Poems of Sappho.…

From the publisher's blurb, " "Though time has reduced the nine volumes of her work to a handful of complete poems and a collection of fragments, each word and phrase that survives is poignantly significant. The clarity of her voice, its absolute candor, its amazingly fresh authority - whether in addressing a goddess, dancers before a light altar, the moon and stars, a sweet apple or mountain hyacinth, a lamb or cricket, a love or companion - are qualities that compel us today as in antiquity. Willis Barnstone has given us a close and beautifully lyrical translation, with the original Greek on facing pages, that includes a dozen hitherto unintelligible fragments that have been brought vibrantly back to life by him, as well as Sappho's newly discovered poem from the Cologne papyrus in its complete form. The book also contains the translator's essay placing the poet in her historic and artistic context; a glossary; extensive notes; an epilogue and metrical guide by William E. McCulloh, Professor Emeritus of Classics at Kenyon College; and a special section of testimonia; appreciations of Sappho in the words of her ancient admirers." Volume contains scholarly apparatus in the form of, e.g., notes, index, and bibliography. xlix [1], 2-316 pp.Member, I.O.B.A., C.B.A., and adherent to the highest ethical standards. Additional postage may be required for oversize or especially heavy volumes, and for sets.…
