The Aeneid

Len Krisak

Rising to the challenge of rendering the poem’s Latin hexameters by adopting English iambic ones, Len Krisak’s Aeneid doubles down on the English poetic tradition by also featuring rhyme.

In Krisak’s hands, these devices provide not only a superb kind of music but the snap and power of an epic adventure that glories in what only formal poetry can do. Enhanced by an Introduction and an extensive set of notes by Christopher M. McDonough, this Aeneid works as story, voice, and verse.

‘Len Krisak not only boldly meets Virgil line-for-line, but in a hexameter that answers the original meter, all while hewing to straightforward English with a weather eye on the Latin.’ - A.E. Stallings
