Book Synopsis
Horace and The Odes are introduced in lively fashion by noted classicist Ronnie Ancona.

Trade Review
With Kaimowitz's Odes, we can learn to love and comprehend Horace's verse as we see his monument up close in a new light. -- Clem Wood Oxonian Review 2009 A translation for the present age, the volume includes footnotes and a brief discussion of how Kaimowitz selected phrases, syllable counts, line length, and references to create brilliant 'reminiscences.' Choice 2009 Kaimowitz claims that 'translators of poetry should at least provide something approaching poetry,' and these lines [the opening of Ode II.9] and many other passages show his skill in doing just that.
