While fully aware that I haven't posted here in quite a long time and thus have no real claim on the reciprocal good will of the community, it nonetheless seems reasonable that some people who post here but not on FB might be interested in this piece. So for them I offer my long, long, long, long essay-cum-review of former (and current?) Spherean Aaron Poochigian's recent Penguin Argonautica.

TLDR version = read Aaron's translation. Also, lots of words about 3rd C Alexandria, if that's of interest.
I see things here are acrimonious as ever. Good old Sphere.

While I'm here, should I mention that I have a number of translations in this issue of Parnassus, a couple more forthcoming from New Haven Review,
a few poems up in a recent issue of PANK, and a couple acceptances at Yale Review and Barrow Street? Maybe not, but I guess I will. fwiw. It goes without saying that I owe a great deal to this place and am deeply grateful to many people here.
