rebeccazh's review against another edition
Such a good book of poetry. The poems were soft, lyrical, evocative, tender/yearning/wistful. What a pleasure it was to read.

A collection of Sappho's poetry, I hope on further rereading I will be able to better grasp the pace and meaning. A good read I will definitely return to.

3 stars. I should probably look else where for a more authentic experience of Sappho's poetry. Apparently some of these are written by Carman and meh, I didn't really want that. I have an ebook of Sappho's completed works so I'll pick that up but for what it was this wasn't bad at all. Some very good poems in here that feel a lot more modern than they actually are.

"Yet for all the roses,
And the flutes and lovers,
Doubt not she was lonely
As the sea, whose cadence
Haunts the world for ever."

She's definitely bisexual. She speaks of loving men and women in her poems. Just a ton about love and lovers and loneliness. She was lonely despite her many lovers.
I was hoping for a bit more sapphic longing in these. Maybe I'm just bad at reading poetry though.
