Poems in Latin
It may seem quixotic to compose poems in Latin in the 21st century, but in fact there are a number of contemporary Latin poets continuing the 2200-year tradition. My efforts have been small but I offer here a few of my more successful attempts.
Translation projects
As a fan of 18th-century English literature, I have always appreciated translations into more challenging forms, chief among them that of the heroic couplet. Over the years I've been attempting to translate the Roman poets Juvenal and Propertius into this form, and I offer here some examples of that ongoing project, together with some miscellaneous translations of ancient poets.
