This book is not solely about friendship. It is in part about lifes journey and the many paths we cross, touching one soul after another seasonally, relationally or spiritually. And, I wanted to give just a few, the opportunity to share their thoughts with the universe. In our individual flesh we can oftentimes feel alone. We are not alone. We all share a common bond ...emotions. Somewhere - someone out there ... another soul has felt something similar.

When a close friend does something to upset you You should be able to tell them without a big fight But in this case I told you that you hurt me And you ignored that fact Which in turn got me mad and yes I said things I really didn't mean I said I was sorry and you seemed to forgive me But you haven't said anything and I haven't seen you in the family room in a while I know that family obligations sometimes get in the way But you are missed I still care no matter what happened to our friendship.

There are many anthologies of love poems but friendship has proved a more elusive theme. Yet it is no less important. Like the Everyman Love Poems and Erotic Poems, to which it is a companion, the present selection draws on the literature of many periods and languages to illuminate aspects of friendship, ranging from social acquaintance through personal devotion to estrangement and antipathy. The tone ranges from comic to elegiac and there is certainly something here for everyone. The volume is divided thmatically into sections: What are Friends?; The Pleasure of Friendship; Good Neibours; Social Life; Dumb Chums; Portraits; Poets Together; Strangers; Absent Friends and Looking Back

"A fugitive handprint in a bowl of cream, a bird tangled in the grapevines of a mural, holy women who clap their voices into prayers-this is a world of unexpected beauty, and Pucci as a translator deserves our respect and praise for having clapped these poems into songs."-Joel C. Relhan, Wheaton College, Norton, MA. Owing to the rich storehouse of information it contains, the poetry of Venantius Fortunatus (c. 535-600) has long been mined as a historical source for Merovingian society, a focus that overshadows an appreciation of the poems' literary value. This volume, offering free-verse translations of Fortunatus' personal poetry, remains faithful to the historical sweep of the poet's lines while paying attention to the literary qualities that make these poems masterpieces of their kind. The volume includes an overview of late antique Gaul, Fortunatus' biography, interpretations of the poems, prosopographical introductions, maps, bibliography, and indices. Joseph Pucci is Associate Professor of Classics and in the Program in Medieval Studies and Associate Professor of comparative Literature at Brown University.
