Pickpick

Several contemporary (2002) poets translating Horace's Odes freely. All must have some knowledge of Latin. All were born from ~1920 to ~1965. So a bunch of older classically inclined poets. Each translation is a combination of Horace's and the poet's meanings. Overall it leaves an interesting impression, and I enjoyed that. I‘ve been working through this since Jan 13, a little bit each morning.

Suet624 Great job on your commitment to checking in on this every morning. I always end up petering out at some point 5d

Martta Näytti kyllä olevan ihan hullut jonot sillon avauspäivänä! Varmaan pääsen vierailemaan tiistaina tai keskiviikkona. Pitää toivoa, et ei tarviis hirveesti jonotella. On kyllä upeanoloinen kirjasto mitä nyt oon telkkarissa pätkiä nähny. 😊 6y
Tove_Reads @LeeRHarry You should visit Arkadia bookstore as well! 6y
