Sulpicia

These are modern English translations by Michael R. Burch of seven Latin poems written by the ancient Roman female poet Sulpicia, who was apparently still a girl or very young woman when she wrote them.

I. At Last, Love!
by Sulpicia
loose translation/interpretation by Michael R. Burch

for Carolyn Clark, who put me up to it

These are my English translations of poems by the first poet we know by name, the ancient Sumerian poet Enheduanna, the great Jewish Holocaust poet Miklos Radnoti, the ancient Scottish poet William Dunbar, the eclectic German poet Georg Trakl, the English poet Pauline Mary Tarn, who wrote poems in French as Renee Vivien, and other poets from around the globe so famous we know them by a single name, such as Basho, Chaucer, Dante, Homer, Issa, Rilke, Rumi, Sappho and Virgil...
