The Poems of Propertius.
Here’s the pitch:
He’s Roman.
He’s grumpy.
He’s perpetually drunk.
He has an on and off girlfriend named Cynthia who cheats on him and eventually dies.
What’s not to love?

What's a book you love with all your goddamn heart that you believe did NOT get the love and attention it's due?
I'll go first, and it's abso-LUT-ely THE CITY IN GLASS by Nghi Vo. There are moments from that book that live in my blood and wake me from the dark.

I’ve always been dismissive of choosing a plant only for its name, but I must say I’m tempted by Clematis ‘Propertius’ for that alone.

Shackleton Bailey thought we should read 'excussis' at Propertius 2.16.27, not (of course) in the sense "exhausted," but "violently protruded." These rural voters agree.

To my critics I merely say, "Cat-piss and porcupines!!"
![The March 1919 issue of Poetry published Pound's Poems from the Propertius Series,[180] which appeared to be a translation of the Latin poet Sextus Propertius.[m] Harriet Monroe, editor of Poetry, published a letter in April 1919 from a professor of Latin, W. G. Hale, who found "about three-score errors" in the text; he said Pound was "incredibly ignorant of Latin", that "much of what he makes his author say is unintelligible", and that "If Mr. Pound were a professor of Latin, there would be nothing left for him but suicide" (adding "I do not counsel this").[181] Pound replied to Monroe: "Cat-piss and porcupines!! The thing is no more a translation than my 'Altaforte' is a translation, or than Fitzgerald's Omar is a translation." His letter ended "In final commiseration". Monroe interpreted his silence after that as his resignation from Poetry magazine.[182]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:r3jhbncpebnyeposo7cmqczc/bafkreifj32bjsftxxv7wdd7epg4sd7yl5ruaex6hxhuyco3bxuqp6r3qrm)
