Son of a freedman, eventually he became close friends with Virgil. His famous <em>Ars poetica</em> has been an abc of poetry practice and criticism. He was given a farm near Tivoli, and there he wrote his pastoral and other poems. His main works are his <em>Satires, Odes, Epodes,</em> and <em>Epistles.</em> His <em>Ars </em>suggests that a poet should read widely, and be precise and plain in thought and speech. His influence has been enormous on Pope, Ben Jonson, Auden, and Frost.<p><a href="https://www.ablemuse.com/v17/bio/horace?">read more</a></p> https://www.ablemuse.com/v17/bio/horace?#comments Bios author bio horace latin poem poems poetry poetry translation translation v17 willis barnstone Tue, 17 Jun 2014 15:16:56 +0000 Alex Pepple 1110 at https://www.ablemuse.com Willis Barnstone https://www.ablemuse.com/v17/bio/willis-barnstone? <p>Willis Barnstone was born in Lewiston, Maine, and educated at Bowdoin, the Sorbonne, the School of Oriental and African Studies at the University of London, Columbia and Yale, taught in Greece at the end of the civil war (1949 – 1951), in Buenos Aires during the Dirty War, and during the Cultural Revolution he went to China, where he was later a Fulbright Professor at Beijing Foreign Studies University (1984 – 1985).
