The lyrics of Sappho are the earliest surviving examples of
explicitly homoerotic literature and have often been analyzed in
terms of their revelations about the island society of Lesbos. This
volume examines Sappho's poetry through the lens of lesbian desire.
It focuses on the active female gaze in the texts and the narrative
voice - one that describes female experience and desires as
primary, not secondary to the dominant (male) culture. The book
provides close readings of the surviving examples of Sappho's
poetry, occasionally presenting comparative material from other
ancient Greek poets. In addition, a complete transliteration of the
Greek verse is intended to enhance the reader's understanding of
the original sound and rhythm of the texts. Sappho's influence on a
number of lesbian poets, including Amy Lowell, H.D. and Olga
Broumas. The text includes an appendix of the original Greek
poetry.
