Chris Childers' Penguin Book of Greek & Latin Lyric Verse
Forgive me if this book has already been celebrated here; searches aren't turning it up. And it really does deserve celebration, as it's the work of more than a decade. I've learned much from Chris Childers about classical verse forms (and about my weaknesses in Latin!) ever since I first arrived at the Sphere long ago, and am glad to learn more. And now I have his monumental anthology. Here's what A. E. Stallings has to say about it:

Thanks for bringing this up, Maryann. It looks delicious. I knew that Chris had been awarded a National Endowment for the Arts translation grant several years ago to take this on (NEA profile here, in which he said "I translate out of love and gratitude for the dead, and in hopes the living may feel some sliver of that fire"), but hadn't heard since. Congrats, Chris!
