Description
This bold, yet literal translation of ancient Roman poet Catullus is rendered in delightful lines. Rabinowitz grasps the elegance, passion & nastiness not only of this Roan rude boy, but also of first-century B.C. Rome. Fun to read, this Catullus supersedes the weary & stale bourgeoisie versions of these verses that have kept the lusty language of the poet from the equally lusty minds of his readers. Beautifully translated...trivial, frivolous, profound, obscene. Read the fossils of show more lust."--William S. Burroughs. "What a favor! It's lighthearted, the most readable I know."--Allen Ginsburg. "It's more fun than waving a dog's head on a stick at your mother."--Thom Metzger. show lessTags
