  1. Oh my gosh. #12 and #15 are incredible. But my fav: #22 “Will These Two New Sappho Poems Save the Millennial Generation?” If there’s gotta be one more stupid link or headline about Millenials, I want it to be about how Sappho and poetry will save us.

  2. This list is PERFECT and now I’m really tempted to mail “The Letters of Vita Sackville-West and Virginia Woolf” to the lady I’m sort of maybe trying to woo (even though she lives literally a thousand miles away)…

  3. Also, a riff on #15:

    “Sappho Bisexual Calls From the Grave, Tells Evan Rachel Wood She Wants Her Suffix Back”

  4. Help I’ve spent the past 5 minutes trying to explain #15 to my roommate and her boyfriend. Best by far!!
