This review is from: The Complete Odes and Satires of Horace: (Paperback)
This may be a fine book of translation but on the whole it is not poetry. Compare versions of any ode translated by Alexander and Ferry and you'll see: Alexander is working with language, Ferry is working with poetry. If you want Horace's poetry, buy the Ferry text.
