'The best translation of Homer since Pope's.' Garry Wills, New York Review of Books
Product Description
All Day Permanent Red is the fourth instalment of Christopher Logue's celebrated account of the Iliad, the first three of which were collected in Homer: War Music (2001). In this new episode, Logue focuses upon the various battle scenes of the classic text, further testifying to the standing of these translations as a modern landmark in their own right. 'The best translation of Homer since Pope's.' Garry Wills, New York Review of Books 'Perhaps Logue's greatest achievement is his ability to make us see the Trojan War as Homer's audience would have done. We hear the music of war and it is thrilling. We see the cinematography of the battlefield and it is astonishing. We marvel at the strength and superhuman courage of heroes and, despite ourselves, celebrate their victories and mourn their losses. This is, without doubt, one of the landmarks of twentieth-century poetry - a work of powerful resonance and relevance that will continue to dazzle familiar as well as new readers.' James O'Brien

Another great poem,

This review is from: All Day Permanent Red: War Music Continued (Paperback)
I have been reading this series on the Iliad since 1984, and each instalment is new, exciting, and wonderful. The sensation is a bit like sucking in cold air on a chipped tooth- painful, but you know you are alive.And the battle scenes belittle anything from Hollywood.Please keep writing these marvellous books.

More like a filmscript,

than a poem, a vibrant, chilling, breath-snatching action narrative of the first battle scenes from Homer’s Iliad. An entrance into the pre-humanist world of the Greek warriors.
