Edmund Keeley's stunning translation brings Ancient Greek pith and urgency into the 21st Century: playful and oracular, Nakedness is My End is an essential study of human life in lyric form."--Karen Emmerich "In Keeley's lucid translations, we find just what we need: grace, humor, beauty, good advice, and succor; all that poetry has been bringing us through the darkness for these thousands of years.
