She is typically praised for her translations as well as the creative interplay of classical and modern imagery in her works. An aspect I think often overlooked is the relation of her text with the physical media of reading the text. For example Nox which is printed as a single continuous accordion-folded sheet.

For a similar approach I would recommend checking out Guy Davenport's 7 Greeks. His translations of Sappho and Diogenes are commendable.
Why is the book available for review on the site if review copies haven't yet been sent out? Isn't that just asking for trolling?

The Sciences of the Artificial by Herbert A. Simon. Absolutely foundational.
