Details

Sappho was a poet from the city of Mytilene on the island of Lesbos. She was born in about 630 BC. She was an accomplished poet, singer and musician. Sadly all of Sappho's music is lost and what we know about her life is as fragmented as her poetry, of which only one complete poem remains. Scholars in Alexandria, it is thought, collected nine books of her lyrics. Of these 'lyrics' we have the one complete poem and a collection of fragments.

Kevin Cadwallender is a writer who lives in Edinburgh. His previous collections for Red Squirrel were Colouring in Guernica and Sagrada Familia, both now out of print; he is also the editor of At Grand Central Station We Sat Down and Wept, Red Squirrel's stunning new anthology of poetry inspired by Elizabeth Smart. Red Squirrel are also the distributor of Kevin's collected 'Baz' poems, Baz Uber Alles.
