Yesterday my dentist revealed that she was a Haverford Classics major! I couldn't reply, but if any interested dentists are reading, I'll be at Haverford April 3, visiting their marathon reading of my Iliad translation (around 12.30). All welcome.haverford.campuslabs.com/engage/event/9…
It was wonderful to talk to the brilliant Kamran Javadizadeh about Sappho, poetics, sparrows, and crushes!
I was moved to visit to meet many brilliant U of King's College students in beautiful drizzle-grey Halifax, all so excited about Homer & great books & a better world. Lovely to meet scriptrix and visit the iconic fold-up dream-house bookshop king's co-op bookstore. What an amazing community!
Tune in tonight to watch Dr Emily Wilson talk about her superb new metrical translation of Homer's #Iliad with Charlotte Higgins, and the epic poem's entwined themes of rage and grief. Classical Association Ireland TCDClassics The Arts Council / An Chomhairle Ealaíon No booking required. 8pm, online:
