Trade Review
A translation that successfully re-creates in English the wit, the lyric, exaltation, the playful banter, the despair, the scurrilous invective, and the dramatic flair of the original, all of it moving easily in artfully contrived and skillfully controlled English equivalents of Catullus' many and varied meters. -- Bernard Knox New York Review of Books
