5.0 out of 5 stars
surprisingly enjoyable translations,
By
This review is from: Seasons of Sacred Lust (Paperback)
Usually when I have read poetry in translation it has felt disjointed and off key, but these translations are lovely in that they still feel like poetry. I wouldn't suggest them for young readers (as you can probably tell from the title), but the book is not actually as sex-filled as the title suggests.
