Poems & Fragments - Second, expanded edition, translated by Josephine Balmer SapphoPaperback
This second, expanded edition of Josephine Balmer's classic translation of the Greek poet Sappho has new, recently-discovered fragments, including the Brothers Poem, the Kypris Song and the Cologne Fragment. Poems & Fragments is now the only complete, readily-available translation in English of Sappho's surviving work. In a new essay on these additions she discusses the issues raised in the translating - and in some cases retranslating - of these fragmentary and ever-shifting texts.
Her lyric poetry is among the finest ever written, and although little of her work has survived and little is known about her, she is regarded not just as one of the greatest women poets, but often as the greatest woman poet in world literature. Sappho was one of the greatest poets in classical literature. She lived on the island of Lesbos around 600 BC, and even in her lifetime, her work was widely known
