Narrative During Books If Not, Winter: Fragments of Sappho

I love this book so much that I copied out some of the best lines in thick sharpie onto a shirt that I wore so often it's now terribly stained and faded and rather hard to read. An interesting cyclical thing, sort of, given the flimsiness of what remains of Sappho's works.

Also, I once had a writing teacher who said we should follow the "Sappho rule": every word of your writing should be so good that if there was a great flood or conflagration and only snippets of lines survived, there would still be great beauty and intensity in what was left. Kind of a tall order, but given the state of publishing today, I'd say it's needed now more than ever.

maybe i'll put out a proper review later but right now my heart is just aching / bursting with warmth at the same time. these fragments... what would i do to recover them in their full form, tbh. also POETS: USE MORE EPITHETS. smush up words. our sapphic icon would smile at you.

The (allegedly) original lesbian! Pretty sad that only fragments are left from what she wrote. Loved the poems nevertheless and enjoyed the little history lesson after.

the difference between four stars and five is something categorically different from all other star-number differences. the move from 'i really liked it' to 'it was amazing' is a move away from the the realm of sheer personal pleasure, and toward something externaler. this book was often a pleasure, but that's not why it gets five stars. i could have enjoyed it more. it took me a little while to get into it. at the beginning especially i sometimes found myself flipping through inattentively,

yes! radiant lyre speak to mebecome a voiceThis book seems so short. How little of Sappho we have. Anne Carson's very brief, graceful introduction hints at the difficulty of best arranging that little to get the most from it - the most excitement ("brackets are exciting"), the maximum number of delicious shivers... The Greek is on the left page, translation on the right, with lacunae marked where appropriate in both. Carson uses the clearest language possible, and adorns the text with minimal
