A review by sr_yancey
Sappho by Mary Barnard, Sappho, Dudley Fitts

RIP Sappho. You would’ve loved twitter before it became a political hell hole

I think I’m actually more interested in the drama and history around Sappho and her work than the poetry itself. Don’t get me wrong, the poems are great…most of the poems are great. But there’s so much drama around the preservation (or rather censorship) and translations for her work. I think I need to find the book on that. I just have to find one that passes the vibe check and isn’t written by a crusty old man who doesn’t believe in lesbians.
