{"product_id":"love-poems-of-catullus-9780811237499","title":"Love Poems of Catullus","description":"Catullus was undoubtedly one of the most intimate, witty, vivid, and tender poets of antiquity. Perhaps his greatest gift was his ability to truthfully reveal the fleeting instants of his bare psyche: moments of erotic passion, of scorn and jealousy, of heartfelt devotion, of consuming love. The cycle of poems to his love, \"Lesbia,\" have entranced poets and translators across the centuries, enriching many different traditions in English-language poetry.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis anthology of Catullus's love poems showcases translations from many New Directions authors, including James Laughlin, Bernadette Mayer, Muriel Spark, and Louis and Celia Zukofsky, as well as beloved timeless translations, like those of Ben Jonson and Christopher Marlowe, and inimitable modern versions from the likes of Dorothy Parker and Horace Gregory. Also included are several newly commissioned translations from contemporary poets and writers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e New Directions Publishing Corporation\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/03\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780811237499\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 80","brand":"Gaius Valerius Catullus","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43075453911221,"sku":"9780811237499","price":11.86,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_d979e8d7-b990-46a9-b8e0-316accd088ae.jpg?v=1691466368","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/love-poems-of-catullus-9780811237499","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
