Description"The Sapphic impression of emotion poured out in unpremeditated speech is the product of sophisticated art.
About the Author A Mac Arthur Fellow who has taught at Reed College, the University of Chicago, and the University of California, Berkeley, Jim Powell is the author of two Poetry collections, It Was Fever that Made the World and Substrate..
It includes summary discussions of Sappho\'s biography and the history of her texts, an essay on the formal character of her work and its tradition, and notes on the poems.
The translation is particularly intent on bringing over into English Sappho\'s formal mastery along with her sense.
Powell has shored her fragments against Sappho\'s] ruins to give us a garland in which the flowers, though tattered, have not faded."--Bernard Knox, The New Republic "Graceful, fluent, lucid while respectful of mystery: Jim Powell\'s unsurpassed embodiment of Sappho in English has all the conviction of art."--Robert Pinsky This new Edition of The Poetry of Sappho translates all the surviving texts of Sappho that make consecutive poetic sense, including the Newly Discovered "Brothers Ode," "Cypris fragment," and other papyrus texts published in 2014.
