The Greeks consider her their greatest lyric poet, though only fragments of Sappho's work survives. Mary Barnard lovingly translated these poems, and they comprised the most important book she has ever published. Certainly, it has become one of the most important, treasured, and best-selling books the University of California Press has every published.
Sappho gives us flashes of vivid comment and description - forthright attacks on her enemies, dialogues with her friends, and exasperated exchanges with Aphrodite, the goddess who was both enemy and ally. At times funny, sexy, heartbreaking, the poems are highly personal and emotional portrayals of the world in which she lived twenty-five hundred years ago.

Her Assault on Mount Helicon: A Literary Memoir was published by the University of California Press in 1984. Two years later she received the Western States Book Award for her book-length poem, Time and the White Tigress.
