Ancient Exchanges
Anyone who translates poetry from ancient cultures (not just Greece and Rome) may be interested in this new journal, Ancient Exchanges, whose first issue has come out. It includes my translations of four poems by Catullus. Content warning: they are among his bawdy and satirical poems.

Thank you, Susan. And congratulations. That's some classy classical smut. Way more fun than altar boy Latin.

Brilliantly done, Susan! You've given them just the right tone.

Thanks, Chris and Julie. It is good to hear that Julie thinks I got the tone right on Catullus. We all hear poetry differently, especially when it is in a foreign language, and even if we agree about what the tone is, it can be hard to capture in English.
