This is a very special episode, the longest ever by far, in which I have a conversation with a friend of mine, Catullus expert, Dr Maxine Lewis. We discuss what we like about Catullus, problems of interpretation, approaches to Latin literature, and dealing with difficult topics in the classroom. I hope you enjoy this, and a big thanks to Maxine for speaking with me! Warning: some explicit language (in the context of a translation of the first line of Catullus poem 16). If you'd like to learn more about Maxine, you can visit her profile page. Listen by using the player below. Remember also that the podcast is available on iTunes here, or by searching for "reading Latin poetry" in the iTunes store.
