The Satires of Horace

Horace

Ausable Press, 2002 - Literary Collections - 100 pages

"What is special about Matthews' Horatian Satires is the immediacy of the idiom, the sense of discovery of the actual moment, the quickness of the turn of the line. . . . Horace's words, in Matthews' hands, become alive, just-written, and immortal again because they are so new."--Stanley Plumly
