Sappho was one of the greatest poets in classical literature. Poems & Fragments is now the only complete, readily-available translation in English of Sappho's surviving work. In a new essay on these additions she discusses the issues raised in the translating – and in some cases retranslating – of these fragmentary and ever-shifting texts. This second, expanded edition of Josephine Balmer's classic translation of the Greek poet Sappho has new, recently-discovered fragments, including the Brothers Poem, the Kypris Song and the Cologne Fragment.
