The Poems of Catullus
translated by Horace Gregory
paperback in good used condition
"The Poems of Catullus is an English rendering of the passionate, witty, and sometimes scandalous verse of the Roman poet Gaius Valerius Catullus (c. 84–54 BCE). Gregory’s translation captures the emotional intensity, personal intimacy, and sharp satire of the original Latin, ranging from love poems to bitter invectives against rivals and social commentary on Roman life. The collection preserves Catullus’s linguistic precision, rhythmic energy, and playful experimentation with poetic forms, while making his work accessible to modern readers. Through these translations, Gregory conveys both the tenderness and the irreverence that made Catullus a defining voice of Roman lyric poetry, allowing contemporary audiences to experience the humor, eroticism, and raw honesty of one of antiquity’s most vivid poets."
