Yikers! Better get those kids in a public institution so they can listen to Tyrone and Laquisha stumble through another hip slam poetry analysis of Black Panther

Is there an Emily Wilson translation for the Bible yet?

>I and other Odyssey fans were excited by Wilson’s opening line: “Tell me about a complicated man.” In its matter-of-fact language, it’s worlds different from Fagles’s “Sing to me of the man, Muse,” or Robert Fitzgerald’s 1961 version, “Sing in me, Muse, and through me tell the story / of that man skilled in all ways of contending.” Wilson chose to use plain, relatively contemporary language in part to “invite readers to respond more actively with the text,” she writes in a translator’s note.
