I definitely recommend reading both the Foreword and the Footnotes before reading the poetry, they add a lot of context that makes the poetry a lot my readable. I found even these small bits of Sappho's remaining words to be moving and lovely. My favorite was #32 Bridesmaids' Carol II
"First voice:
Virginity O
My virginity!
Where will you go when I lose you?
Second voice:
I'm off to
A place I shall
Never come back
From
Dear Bride!
I shall never
Come back to you
Never!"
Which I found delightfully humourous and relatable for all time periods.
