Ovid's Metamorphoses is one of the great works in classical literature, and a primary source for our knowledge of much of classic mythology, in which the relentless theme of transformation stands as a primary metaphor for the often cataclysmic dynamics of life itself. For this book, British poets Michael Hofmann and James Lasdun have invited more than forty leading Englishlanguage poets to create their own idiomatic contemporary versions of some of the most famous and notorious myths from the Metamorphoses.Apollo and Daphne, Pyramus and Thisbe, Proserpina, Marsyas, Medea, Baucis and Philemon, Orpheus and Eurydicethese and many other immortal tales are given fresh and startling life in exciting new versions. The contributorsamong them Fleur Adcock, Amy Clampitt, Jorie Graham, Thom Gunn, Seamus Heaney, Ted Hughes, Lawrence Joseph, Kenneth Koch, Michael Longley, Paul Muldoon, Les Murray, Robert Pinsky, Frederick Seidel, Charles Simic, and C. K. Williamsconstitute an impressive roster of today's major poets. After Ovid is a powerful reenvisioning of a fundamental work of literature as well as a remarkable affirmation of the current state of poetry in English.
