Customer Reviews of The Poems of Catullus

Review Summary: Look for the 1979 Abbatoir edition
Review: I have the 1979 Abbatoir edition of this book, hand printed in Omaha by Harry Duncan and it is a gem. There were only 250 copies printed so it is probably a tough book to find out there but it is a treasure.
It's worth looking for.

Review Summary: For American English speakers only
Review: Thiese translations by Martin are too cutesy in their use of modern American parlance.. 'Hooker,' ' his boy's fanny,' 'cruising,' 'faggot'... Ruins this book for me. I prefer the old Penguin edition I used to have.

Review Summary: Lively, vigorous translation with a contemporary feel
Review: Catullus is one of the poets who first kindled my love of poetry, and I was delighted to discover this excellent recent translation. Martin beautifully conveys Catullus' many faces and moods, from the mock-sweet lyric about his mistress' dead sparrow, to the spare, anguished syllables of odi et amo...much recommended...
