Come Close (Penguin Little Black Classics, #74)

"Since I have cast my lot, please, golden-crowned
Aphrodite, let me win this round!"
- Sappho
Vol N° 74 of my Penguin Little Black Classics Box Set. This volume contains about 46 of Sappho's poems/fragments assembled from Penguin's book Stung with Love: Poems and Fragments, translated by Aaron Poochigian (2009).
It is broken down into several groupings:
1. Goddesses
2. Desire and Death-Longing
3. Her Girls and Family
4. Troy
5. Maidens and Marriages
6. The Wisdom of Sappho
I was first introduced to Sappho through J.D. Salinger in his short stories Raise High the Roof Beam, Carpenters & Seymour: An Introduction. I'll write a bit more later. Gotta run and play with the kids.
