Mary Barnard Sappho.
Sappho, of course, is the ancient Greek lyric poet whose charged words turned her name and homeland into adjectives for forbidden love.
And it was Barnard, a Vancouver, Wash., native and Reed College graduate, who finally gave those words life in the English language, in the process remaking both the work and how it was popularly viewed.
Her “Sappho: A New Translation,” published in 1958, was a “big deal, because it was so beautiful,” Sappho scholar Diane Rayor says. “It brought Sappho to people who never would have read her, in this handy little affordable book. It allowed people to fall in love with Sappho.”

This classic silent film shot in Territet, Switzerland in just over a week and starring the Pool Group (Hilda Doolittle, Robert Herring, and Winifred Bryher), together with the Afro-American Paul Robeson and his wife Eslanda, was directed by Kenneth Macpherson, editor of the magazine
Close Up (1927-1933). The iconic presence of Robeson, singer, actor, civil rights activist and leading figure of the Harlem Renaissance, links the 1920s avant-garde movements at the international level, bringing to the foreground the black presence in the history of cinema and revealing its racially motivated and nationalist silences and omissions.
Forgotten until it was rediscovered in the 1980s, this experimental, avant-garde work is influenced by Sergei Eisenstein in the montage and by G. W. Pabst in the psychoanalytical approach of the shots. Standing alone among the canonical film stories,
