Description
Translated by Stephen Mitchell, this collection brings to life the poetry of Gaius Valerius Catullus, one of the greatest poets of ancient Rome. His passionate verses have captivated readers for centuries with their beauty, wit, tenderness, and heartbreak.
The poems, which include his famous love poems, are dense, subtle, witty, ardent, fearless, deeply uncensored, nasty (sometimes), petty (sometimes), and always beautiful. Mitchell's translation reimagines the formal beauty of Catullus's verse in English, allowing contemporary readers to experience its content and rhythms anew.
