About the author

Horace

-65–-8

A sharp, witty voice from ancient Rome, this poet shaped the art of the ode, satire, and epistle in ways that still feel alive. His work ranges from playful and personal to thoughtful and philosophical, with a gift for turning everyday experience into memorable lines.
