A known forgotten poet

Cláudia

Sappho is one of those poets that everybody knows but nodoby reads. What a shame. Her poetry, more than a study on yearning and deep emotions, is a commentary on the times, the cultures and myths that shaped the Greek society. Her work is divided in fragments found by chance, but it does seem like destiny has played a hand in uniting us with greatness.
