‘Sappho: A New Rendering’ by Sappho

61CFJRw1CxL._SL300_.jpgThis is my first project with the publisher Listen2aBook, and it’s a collection of poetry. Sappho was a female poet who was well known in ancient Greece and Rome for her lyrical poetry. She was most famous for her poems involving women who loved women, and it is from her name that sapphic, a term referring to sexual relations between women, originated. This is a compendium of her surviving work, a collection of 54 fragments translated by Henry de Vere Stacpoole.
