Diana Wright asks:

<excerpt>Can someone help me to recall the name of a recent 

collection of poetry based on myth?

</excerpt>


The most recent (and widest-ranging---including translations of

non-English-language poems) is Nina Kossman, ed., "Gods and Mortals:

Modern Poems on Classics Myths" (OUP, 2001).


Then there is Deborah de Nicola, ed., "Orpheus and Company:

Contemporary Poems on Greek Mythology" (Univ. Press of New England,

1999).  All the poems here are English-language, mostly American.


Though not a collection, there is also Gjertrud Schnackenberg's

"The Throne of Labdacus" (FSG, 2000).
