Sappho’s voice is unique and timeless. Some fragments resonated deeply, while others felt incomplete. Still a worthwhile read for poetry lovers.

While I appreciate the historical context, some of the poetry didn’t age well for me. Still, glad I explored this collection.

A beautiful translation that brings Sappho’s work to life. It’s a bit fragmented, but the raw emotion shines through. I enjoyed it a lot!

A mixed bag. Some fragments are profound and moving, others less so. The historical context made it an interesting read overall.

I found some of the themes repetitive. Still, the historical significance and occasional brilliance make it a worthwhile addition to my library.

Ajeet Kumar Gupta –
Interesting to see the origins of lyric poetry. However, the fragmented nature made it hard to fully connect with all of the poems.

Sappho’s poetry is powerful and moving, even after centuries. This edition is well-done, though the gaps are frustrating at times.
