300,000 Kisses

"300,000 Kisses" is a landmark anthology that celebrates and reclaims queer love in ancient Greek and Roman literature, curated by award-winning poet Seán Hewitt and designer Luke Edward Hall. This collection features a rich array of romantic narratives, including notable works from Homer, Sappho, Ovid, and Catullus, as well as lesser-known pieces like raunchy poems and a graffiti text from Pompeii. Through contemporary translations, readers explore diverse expressions of love—heartfelt, unrequited, and everything in between—offering a new perspective on the complexities of ancient relationships.
