I hate and love. How do I do this, you might ask. I don't know but I feel it and am tortured.
A Penguin Classic
Award-winning translator Stephanie McCarter presents a dual-language translation of the surviving poems of Catullus (84-54 BCE), the Roman poet and punk, the lover and the hater, the hedonist and the wretch, famous for contradictions on friendship, love, and sex, and infamous for obscene diatribes against enemies. Catullus wrote only a single book of poetry, but in it lies some of the most raw and forceful depictions human emotion to be produced in the ancient world. Catullus's lyricism is as tender as it is violent, equally capable of capturing fleeting romance, heartbroken despondence, and exuberant rage. Tailored to a broad audience, McCarter's translation conveys the nuances of sexuality and gender in ancient Rome and meticulously mirrors Catullus's poetic variety. This edition, which includes facing Latin text as well as a general introduction, suggestions for further readings, and endnotes, showcases the complexities of a poet who shaped the Western poetic tradition.
