“Who you are, your personality, what you have read, what you have written – all of that is going to inform how you translate.” – Douglas Reid Skinner In partnership with @craneriverpoetry, we released ‘Catullus: Selected Lyric Poems’, translated by Richard Whitaker and Douglas Reid Skinner. 📖 In this edition, “Catullus is deeply engaged with his subject, a writer passionate about his craft, and fully in touch with the centuries of Greek and Roman poetry that came before him.” Read our interview with Richard and Douglas now at our 🔗 in bio. #uHlanga #CatullusPoems #poet #poems #translation #LiteraryTranslation
