520    "The Roman poet Catullus is one of the most popular and 
       frequently studied ancient authors. His poems were written
       just over two thousand years ago during the chaotic but 
       culturally vibrant final decades of the Republic and deal 
       with themes of passion and grief, friendship and enmity, 
       politics, literature and myth. This new translation, the 
       product of a collaborative effort between a classicist and
       a poet, allows modern readers to experience his poems 
       rather as his ancient Roman audience did. The poems are 
       presented as contemporary and concise with a new energy 
       and pace that both enhance Catullus' appeal for non-
       specialists and challenge specialists to consider his work
       from a fresh perspective. Extensive notes are provided, as
       well as an introduction which takes account of modern 
       poetics and popular culture. The translation will appeal 
       not only to classicists but also to lovers of literature 
       in general and poetry in particular"--|cProvided by 
       publisher. 
520    "This approach to translation may have been good for 
       students of Latin, but it has prevented Catullus from 
       gaining the widespread appeal of poets like Homer, Sappho,
       and Vergil. Catullus' style is uncannily modern, his 
       concerns timeless; in fact, as Martin himself notes, 
       Catullus is probably the only classical poet to have had 
       significant influence on modern English poetry (xxii). In 
       recent history, however, Catullus been approached as a 
       poet tied tightly to his historical context, ancient Rome 
       of the late Republic, and useful primarily to students of 
       Latin and classics"--|cProvided by publisher.
