The rest are fragments. In this miraculous new translation, acclaimed poet and classicist Anne Carson presents all of Sappho's fragments, in Greek and in English, as if on the ragged scraps of papyrus that preserve them, inviting a thrill of discovery and conjecture that can be described only as electric--or, to use Sappho's words, as \"thin fire ... racing under skin.\" \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Carson is in many ways [Sappho's] ideal translator.... Her command of language is hones to a perfect edge and her approach to the text, respectful yet imaginative, results in verse that lets Sappho shine forth.\" \u003ci\u003e--Los Angeles Times\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEAN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780375724510\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePackage Dimensions:\u003c\/b\u003e Height: 7.96 Inches, Length: 5.16 Inches, Weight: 0.625 Pounds, Width: 0.81 Inches\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguages:\u003c\/b\u003e en\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sappho","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53112030986547,"sku":"9780375724510","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0949\/3636\/7411\/files\/9780375724510.jpg?v=1772756856","url":"https:\/\/bookabaloo.com\/products\/if-not-winter-fragments-of-sappho-vintage-contemporaries","provider":"Bookabaloo","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
