Synopsis
Lusus is the Latin word for ‘diversions’, an appropriate title for this volume of classical poems, rooted in physical experience and in occluded traditions of neo-Latin verse-writing, with its erotic and rural themes. The allegiance of these poems is not to a nation but to our language itself.
