Author: Klug, Nate
In his Eclogues, Virgil offers the reader poems about responding—listening, picking out, and answering back the pleasures of song. Nate Klug’s Rude Woods is an inspired, modern response, a new translation that blends talkative elegance with lyric intensity. “In a manner that is as successful as it is surprising,” notes W.R. Johnson in his introduction, “Klug has devised a conversational idiom that relies on spare diction and spare syntax, on a pure clarity of sight and sound to give us superb poems that give Virgil’s pure lyricism a genuine ‘answering form.’”
Nate Klug studied literature at the University of Chicago and theology at Yale. He has published poems in many journals and in a chapbook, Consent (Pressed Wafer). He currently lives and works in Iowa.
ISBN 9780988464322. The Song Cave. pb. 76 pages. 14 x 19 cm.
