Filled with hickeys, puttanesca and tart wit, BITER is an apt title for Claudia Jardine’s debut collection of verse. Fresh translations of erotic Greek epigrams are threaded through boozy sonnets, ecstatic odes and startlingly vulnerable love poems. Jardine weaves ancient and modern together into a rich, glitzy, idiosyncratic tapestry – and in doing so crafts a poetic voice that is at once classical and frisky.

Biter
by Claudia Jardine
Review by Ray
In this debut collection from Ōtautahi poet Claudia Jardine, there is so much humour, curiosity and warmth. These poems deal in making small, ordinary moments beautiful; they deal in romance; they deal in friendship and delight. It’s a charming, clever, gorgeous read.
