Klug doesn't skirt an important lesson of the Eclogues: escape is fleeting. Loss, longing and exile dog even the shepherds in this idyll ... Klug confidently reaffirms the abiding comfort of these poems. --John Tipton
In his Eclogues, Virgil offers the reader poems about responding--listening, picking out, and answering back the pleasures of song. Nate Klug's Rude Woods is an inspired, modern response, a new translation that blends talkative elegance with lyric intensity. In a manner that is as successful as it is surprising, notes W.R. Johnson in his introduction, Klug has devised a conversational idiom that relies on spare diction and spare syntax, on a pure clarity of sight and sound to give us superb poems that give Virgil's pure lyricism a genuine 'answering form.'
