Summary

Collects the poems and fragments of the ancient Greek poet's surviving work, displaying the wide variety of themes in her work, from amorous songs celebrating adolescent females to poems of invocation, desire, spite, celebration, and remembrance.
By turns subversive, erotic and poignant, this collection of poems and fragments from Sappho's surviving work displays a wide variety of themes. From amorous songs celebrating adolescent females to poems of invocation, desire, spite, celebration, and remembrance, Poochigian's translations preserve the musical style of Sappho's songs. He also discusses theories surrounding Sappho's life and love affairs, and the enduring influence of her work. -- adapted from back cover
