5.0 out of 5 stars
Lombardo's only Rival!,
This review is from: The Poetry of Sappho (Paperback)
This new translation hits the arrow on the bullseye!
Jim Powell has created Sappho anew, in these fresh and vibrant translations. The print is the most aesthetically pleasing I've come across! This little palm size collection contains every major poem and fragment of Sappho's (except the one word etc. un-intelligible fragments). It also contains the newly discovered complete poem of LP 58. I prefer these complete renderings than many of the other complete ones I've compared them to: Anne Carson, Paul Roche, Willis Barnstone, David Campbell, Martin West and Mary Barnard. As much as I love Powell's translations and edition, there is none (in my opinion) that supercedes the versions of Stanley Lombardo (on Hackett). I always think that it's important to have at least two different editions in order to compare, and this new mini oxford edition does just that much much more! |
