Ovid in Love   Ovid
Love poems by the Roman poet. Published in 1968, the book itself has beautiful, sensual drawings as well. Didn’t like the poetry that much, but very glad to fill this gap in my education. None of the bawdy, graphic poems he is famous for, at times the verse seems almost adolescent, though maybe that is the translation. Surprisingly, a couple of poems about abortion. Very glad I read these poems.
