Verse that works
Poets are the working class of writers. Few rise out of the ranks to gain wide recognition; and those that do are widely suspect. Our crew of poets are the type that do the work—with passion and skill—then fade back into the weeds. Their books remain vital and demand attention.
Argonautica
trans. by Michael Barich
This 1st-century AD Latin
version of the earlier
Greek epic features exotic
lands, wondrous monsters
and a sea voyage over swells of young love.
Valerius Flaccus lent
sharp Roman refinements
and erotic passion to the tale, which are skillfully sustained in this
careful and appealing modern
translation in English verse.
