High Fantasy Catullus
I’m pleased to tell you that my translation of Catullus 51 into a Tolkeinesque High Fantasy style was chosen as the weekly poem by the Oxford Brookes University Poetry Centre. The poem was written for the Sidekick Books anthology Bad Kid Catullus, which is full of innovative poems which revision or respond to the work of Catullus, as well as gorgeous visual art.
