内容简介
Of the nine books of lyrics the ancient Greek poet Sappho is s ai d to have composed, only one poem has survived complete. The rest are fragments. In this miraculous new translation, acclaimed poet and classic ist Anne Carson presents all of Sappho’s fragments, in Greek and in English, as if on the ragged scraps of papyrus that preserve them, inviting a thrill of discovery and conjecture that can be described only as electric—or, to use Sappho’s word s, as “thin fire . . . racing under skin.” By combining the ancient mysteries of Sappho with the contemporary wizardry of one of our most fearless and original poets, If Not, Winter provides a tantalizing window onto the genius of a woman whose lyric power spans millennia.
