A Garland: The Poems and Fragments of Sappho by Jim Powell, Sappho

4.0

Arresting, beautiful in its incompleteness, and the only reason I fail to give this 5 stars is because I want to compare this translation to others, see which one captures the feel of Sappho's writing the best. Her writing packs a punch, and Powell certainly does a good job of letting us absorb that blow.
