From Library Journal
This is among the best of modern translations of Catullus. It is responsive to the diversity of Catullan meters and captures his swing from the voice of impassioned lover to that of abusive reviler, from the language of refinement and learning to that of a man-about-town conversant with street gutterese. The poems in this translation hold together well as a unified oeuvre while conveying with remarkable success Catullus's wit, elegantly controlled passion, and intermixture of contemporary Roman scenes and vast mythological landscapes.
