- Notes:
- "Catullus poems first appeared in my 1979 collection, Walking Westward, and continued to occur at intervals through Geographies (1982), Straw into gold (1997) and more or less vanished after Dog (2002). Though mine were not translations so much as 'versions in the manner of', there were derived elements, and Catullus's Lesbia became my Clodia - the name of the person on whom his Lesbia is believed to have been based. So the present sequence begins with 'The Clodian songbook (continued)' but soon introduces the new figure of Kezia (pronounced Key-zya), a name borrowed from Katherine Mansfield who used it for the child, based it seems on herself, in her stories of the Burnell (i.e. Beauchamp) family"--C.K.S. page.
