One of six new additions to the acclaimed Poet to Poet series.
In this series, a contemporary poet selects and introduces a poet of the past.

Alexander Pope (1688-1744) was an essayist, critic, satirist, poet and translator. He published An Essay on Criticism in 1711 and a republished version of The Rape of the Lock in 1714. His Collected Works were published in 1717 and he translated the Iliad and the Odyssey into English.
