Reviews of Catullus 64

“Jane Goldman’s Catullus 64 sounds as if it’s coming out of the deep past, the most contemporary present and a dense thicket of the last 150 years of poetry in English. Totally remarkable, I’ve never heard anything quite like the sound these lines make … It’s electrifying work … powerful, beautiful, intricate, excoriating, and utterly enviable.”—PETER MANSON

“a stand-alone poem, a virtuoso display of language which moves from the sublime to the scatological in an instant and is never anything less than gripping.”—JOHN GODWIN. Read the full Bryn Mawr review here.
