Book
The Vates Anthology
The Vates Anthology of New Latin Poetry, edited by Mark Walker.
About the book
“This book is an entirely miscellaneous collection of new Latin poems written in the early years of the 21st century by a highly diverse group of poets whose shared passion for producing Latin poetry is their only unifying characteristic.” The contributions are drawn predominantly from the pages of Vates: The Journal of New Latin Poetry, a free online publication founded in 2010.
The entries are arranged alphabetically by author. Each follows the format of the journal: introductory comments from the poet, then the Latin text and an English translation. Some poems are translations, many are original; some are in classical quantitative verse, some in rhythmic and rhyming medieval forms, others in moulds such as the haiku or the quincouplet.
As the editor writes in his introduction: “All the contributors give their work to Vates freely, and the same is true for this Anthology.”
