Reviews
'Sappho Through English Poetry' is a brilliant idea - You find you're following English poetry over four centuries through the prism of two Greek poems, like a CD of Callas, Joan Sutherland, Piaf, Billie Holiday, Bjork and the Spice Girls all singing the same song.' - Ruth Padel, The Observer'What this collection achieves is a commentary on our own literary history, rather than simply a nod to a great classical poet.' - Jane Holland, Poetry Review
