Description
Shibari Carmina: A fresh translation of Catullus by Isobel Williams
The poet's struggle to translate Catullus has been likened to "cage fighting with two opponents". This unique translation draws on the author's personal experiences, including a visit to a Japanese rope bondage club, to unlock new meanings and contexts for the ancient Roman poet.
Williams' use of social media terminology adds a contemporary edge to her work, while maintaining strict syntactical discipline. The result is a nuanced and rigorous interpretation that reveals Catullus in all his complexity.
