simlish's review against another edition
4.0
Good selection of poetry and supplemental material. The translation was clear and beautiful - I don't know if the original feels as modern as the translation does, but I believe Sieburt was matching the intention. Even though I don't know French, I liked having the original facing and kept looking at it for syllables and rhymes and seeing how the English compared.
I had no idea about Louise Labé before picking this up and just grabbed it because it showed up on a keyword search for Sappho, but I really enjoyed it, and really enjoyed learning about Labé.

I think it was Hell that decreed this storm,
Devising my shipwreck from afar.
