J. D. McClatchy is the author of six collections of poems, three books of prose, and thirteen original libretti performed around the world. The editor of the Yale Review, he lives in Stonington, Connecticut.
"Starred Review. Readers familiar with the operas will enjoy seeing
their favorite passages retranslated by the sure hand of a great
poet who is steeped in love for language, music, and drama.
Highly recommended for all collections; an essential purchase for
music libraries."
*Library Journal*
"To translate any one of these librettos into a readable prose text
would be an accomplishment. To translate all seven into rhyming
verse and prose recitative, fearlessly tackling two languages, is a
major literary and musical event."
*David Lehman - The Best American Poetry blog*
