Every issue of National Review carries a new poem, and the current one is by Sarah Ruden. We don’t publish bio-lines with poems, as we do with articles, so many readers probably have no idea that Ruden is widely regarded as the great modern translator of The Aeneid. It’s a treat to have her original work on our pages.

She’s also the author of a new book, Paul Among the People: The Apostle Reinterpreted and Reimagined in His Own Time–and the guest on this week’s Between the Covers podcast.

I’ve blogged a little more about Ruden and Vergil at HeyMiller.com.
