Oh I’m so glad you feel that because it’s exactly how the Greek feels…like Aphrodite is (to steal a phrase from Rumi) closer than one’s jugular vein. I was hoping to capture that in the translation!
Thx so much! Sappho is pretty incredible in the original, and I really wanted to capture just how sexy it sounds in the Greek...AND how gorgeous her relationship with Aphrodite is. So glad it resonated for you!!!
Truly beautiful rendition. The level of intimacy you conjur in the mind is exquisite. You can feel the very pulse of APHROGENIA!

It makes me so happy to think of you fluffing your nest with Aphrodite’s down! A beautiful birdsong for you whose own song helps others sing. 💕🙏
