Containing parallel German and English versions of Goethe's 'Roman Elegies', 'The Diary' and 41 of his 'Venetian Epigrams, 'Erotic Poems' is a fine, spirited translation of Germany's master poet-novelist. Rich and vivid, sometimes subtle and sometimes lurid, with an intriguing mix of classical allusion and modern frankness, this is an excellent collection.
