FEATURED POET


HORACE

Horace (Quintus Horatius Flaccus) was a Roman poet, satirist, and critic. Born
in Venusia in southeast Italy in 65 BCE to an Italian freedman and landowner, he
was sent to Rome for schooling and was later in Athens studying philosophy when
Caesar was assassinated. Horace joined Brutus’s army and later claimed to have
thrown away his shield in his panic to escape. Returning to Rome, Horace began
his career as a scribe, employment that gave him time to write. He befriended
poets and important figures of his day such as Virgil and the Emperor Augustus,
and he eventually achieved great renown. Horace is known for detailed
self-portraits in genres such as epodes, satires and epistles, and lyrics.

ODE I. 11

Leucon, no one’s allowed to know his fate,
Not you, not me: don’t ask, don’t hunt for answers
In tea leaves or palms. Be patient with whatever comes.
This could be our last winter, it could be many
More, pounding the Tuscan Sea on…

to help you perform a successful recitation is right here.

INFORMATION FOR STUDENTS

> ““I love the fact that students are not just reading a poem or reading words,
> but they are actually sharing a part of their identity, sharing what’s
> important to them. The poems that I chose share a different facet of what I
> believe in, who I am.”
