Rose Fear
The poems in Rose Fear (World Poetry Books) are indebted to Sappho’s work. Written by Maria Laina and translated from the Greek by Sarah McCann ’98, Rose Fear draws on symbolic images drawn from mythology and nature, and takes inspiration from far-flung places such as the Caribbean, Japan, as well as Greece.
