The reading of these odes as inviting a 'communal' response is well-sustained and of interest; the discussions of each individual poem are thoughtful and carefully integrated with each other,... very readable. - Bryn Mawr Classical Review ""A wonderfully complex and nuanced picture of Horace's poetry."" - Patricia A. Rosenmeyer, University of Wisconsin-Madison ""Achieves a striking new theoretical conceptualization of traditional issues and is imbued with a sense of subtlety and humor appropriately Horatian in spirit."" - Eleanor Leach, Indiana University
