Look! He’s on the same list as Leonard Cohen!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\r\n\r\nHere’s what they have to say about Our Kid:\r\n\r\n“The scabrous, self-contradictory poems of Gaius Valerius Catullus (84BC-54BC) have been revisited many times before, and it\u2019s always been a messy affair. But this collection throws the concept of the faithful translation to the wind, allowing poets to create their own weird, wild and shaggy versions. Readers too are challenged to write in this book, until \u201cit\u2019s full of vice and voluptuousness\u201d.\u00a0There\u2019s no better way to summon and entertain the spirit of Catullus.\u00a0Rude and beautiful!”

\r\n\r\nNational Poetry Day is on 4th October 2018<\/strong>. Follow them on Twitter @PoetryDayUK<\/a> and on Instagram @nationalpoetryday<\/a>.
