Poet! https://www.annajackson.nz/ she/her When I translate Catullus writing as Sappho, as Ariadne, as Attis, as Procne, am I bird or birdsong? The journey, or the backwards glance?

I did it because hens always had a big influence on me. When I was little, I looked at a hen a lot, for a long time, and I could imitate the way she pecked at the corn, I could imitate what she was like when she was sick, and that always had a big influence on me. Moreover, I’m very connected to animals, tremendously. A hen’s life is hollow—a hen is hollow!
