First off, look up the podcast Sweetbitter, because if you're interested in a book of her poetry you'd definitely be interested in a fantastic Sappho podcast.
Second, this is the copy I've had my eyes on for months. I love Anne Carson's translations, and I think there's just something significant about reading a translation done by a woman.
If anyone is looking for a good translation, I'd recommend Anne Carson's <em>If Not, Winter</em>

This one is lovely!
"If Not, Winter" ~by Sappho <3
"Basho's Haiku" by Matsuo Basho (and translated by David Landis Barnhill) I did my college thesis on Basho, and Barnhill is definitely the best translator, imho~ his other translated work,"Basho's Journey", is also wonderful if you're looking for a more diary-style, year in the life, work <3
My favorite book is If Not, Winter: Fragments of Sappho which is a collection of Sappho poems translated by Anne Carson! For anyone who is interested, Anne Carson translates Sappho beautifully Amazon Link Goodreads Link.
I posted my tattoo that includes Taylor Swift lyrics on here a few weeks back. My other tattoo, which you can't see in that photo, is a fragment of a Sappho poem! You can imagine how excited I am to see this post - two of of my favorite things colliding!!! lol
Thank you for the thoughtful comparison!

The poet/Classicist Anne Carson did a translation with facing Greek text:

If I recall correctly, it's not a scholarly text (i.e., there's no app crit, and it's cleaned up a bit). I don't know if that matters to you.
This doesn't have the "Brothers Poem" from P.Obbink (but that may be a forgery anyhow).
Looks like amazon has it
