After Ovid: New Metamorphoses

After Ovid: New Metamorphoses is a collection of poems inspired by Ovid's Metamorphoses.

Michael Hofmann and James Lasdun, the two editors of After Ovid: New Metamorphoses, commissioned 42 poets from America, Australia, Great Britain, Ireland, and New Zealand to "translate, reinterpret, reflect on, or completely reimagine" Ovid's famous Metamorphoses.[1] The poets include Alice Fulton, C.K. Williams, Mark Rudman, Seamus Heaney[2] and Ted Hughes.[3]
