Synopsis

About Charles Martin’s translation.

Winner of the 2004 Harold Morton Landon Translation Award from the Academy of American Poets, Charles Martin’s blank-verse translation of the Metamorphoses is a “smoothly readable, accurate, charming, subtle yet clear” (Richard Wilbur) version that “highlights [the poem’s] lightness and pervasive sense of universal mutability” (Michael Dirda).
