About this book
"Friend to the Beats, organizer of the Six Gallery poetry reading in 1955, and iconoclastic poet extraordinare, Kenneth Rexroth turned his imagination in the early sixties to a selection of verses from the Greek Anthology. In his characteristically lively style he successfully captured the spirit of the originals by such poets as Sappho, Anyte, Glykon, Antipatros, Leonidas, Asklepiades, and Ammianos. Students of the classics as well as poets and translators welcome this collection for the insight and dexterity of its unconventional editor."--BOOK JACKET.
