Description

The poetry of Gaius Valerius Catullus offers a unique glimpse into the lives of ancient Roman high society. Written in the twilight of the Roman Republic, his verse is known for its cutting honesty and witty observations.

Translated by Daisy Dunn, this collection brings to life the poet's personal relationships, cultural and political figures, and the passions that drove him to write. From his famous love lyrics to his biting commentary on society, Catullus' words are a testament to the power of poetry in capturing the human experience.

With its raw emotion, clever wordplay, and surprising tenderness, this translation is an excellent introduction to the works of one of Rome's most celebrated poets.
