Sappho Poems: A new version. Translated from the ancient Greek, and with an introduction by Willis Barnstone. Published by Green Integer in 1999.
Translated from the ancient Greek with an introduction by Willis Barnstone.
This edition reintroduces Sappho to the modern reader, providing a
vivid, contemporary translation, which captures the spareness and the
intensity of Sappho's line. In this translation, Sappho's work is
presented as we have inherited it, in its darkly antiromantic idiom that
rejects sentimentality and 'prettiness.'
