Credited by many as one of first and foremost pioneers of love poetry, Sappho was a female poet who is believed to have been born on the Greek island of Lesbos in the 6th century BCE. Though her work that survives today exists mostly in fragments, this skillful translation conveys the heartrending rawness that has won her verse so much acclaim from ancient times to the present.
