But the Roman poet also wrote lively and lewd verse on the subjects of love, sex, marriage, and adultery--a playful parody of the earnest erotic poetry traditions established by his literary ancestors. The Amores, Ovid's first completed book of poetry, explores the conventional mode of erotic elegy with some subversive and silly twists: the poetic narrator sets up a lyrical altar to an unattainable woman only to knock it down by poking fun at her imperfections. Ars Amatoria takes the form of didactic verse in which a purportedly mature and experienced narrator instructs men and women alike on how to best play their hands at the long con of love. Ovid's Erotic Poems offers a modern English translation of the Amores and Ars Amatoria that retains the irreverent wit and verve of the original. Award-winning poet Len Krisak captures the music of Ovid's richly textured Latin meters through rhyming couplets that render the verse as playful and agile as it was meant to be. Sophisticated, satirical, and wildly self-referential, Ovid's Erotic Poems is not just a wickedly funny send-up of romantic and sexual mores but also a sharp critique of literary technique and poetic convention.--Provided by publisher. 546 $a Translated from the Latin. 650 0 $a Love poetry, Latin $v Translations into English. 650 0 $a Erotic poetry, Latin $v Translations into English. 650 7 $a Erotic poetry, Latin. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00914903 650 7 $a Love poetry, Latin. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01002912 655 7 $a Translations. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423791 700 1 $a Krisak, Len, $d 1948- $e translator. 700 1 $a Ruden, Sarah, $e writer of introduction. 700 02 $a Ovid, $d 43 B.C.-17 A.D. or 18 A.D. $t Ars amatoria. $l English. 740 02 $a Ars amatoria. 941 $a 2 952 $l PLAX964 $d 20240724072457.0 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20180126063943.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=A7145A6EF2F211E49475ABD7DAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
