"J. D. McClatchy's extraordinary collection gives us the richest version of Horace's odes ever made available in English."--Harold Bloom"This is an invigorating book. A veritable parnassium of poets has brought us Horace, not just in today's terms but in yesterday's glory. No doubt each reader will prefer this translation to that, but it is a choice among succulents. With schoolroom dust removed, here is a poet as bright as every day, yet sober as a man who has felt twilight's arrival in every dawn."--William H. GassMcClatchy, J. D. is the author of 'Horace the Odes New Translations by Contemporary Poets', published 2005 under ISBN 9780691119816 and ISBN 0691119813.
