Description
During her life on the island of Lesbos, Sappho is said to have composed nine books of lyrics. Only one poem has survived complete. In this book, poet and classicist Anne Carson presents all the extant fragments of Sappho's verse, employing brackets and white space to denote missing text - allowing the reader to imagine the poems as they were written. Complete with Carson's introduction and notes, it will become the standard translation of Sappho for our time.
