| This groundbreaking new translation of Horace's most widely read collection of poetry is rendered in modern, metrical English verse rather than the more common free verse found in many other translations.

| "What is special about Matthews' Horatian Satires is the immediacy of the idiom, the sense of discovery of the actual moment, the quickness of the turn of the line. . . . Horace's words, in Matthews' hands, become alive, just-written, and immortal again because they are so new."-Stanley Plumly |
