The passion and immediacy of Catullus' lyrics can for readers obscure the complexity of his poems' moods and subjects. Informed by the latest in Catullan scholarship, Ronnie Ancona gives Catullus' poems their due. Writing Passion: A Catullus Reader presents the forty-two poems that are required reading for the 2005 AP Latin Literature Exam. (The current Catullus syllabus for 2007-08 is still the same.) The format includes line-by-line notes and vocabulary and a variety of enhancements, making it easily accessible to both teachers and students. A separate teacher's guide is also available. For those teachers currently using Writing Passion for AP teaching, note that the 2009 administration of the Latin Literature AP Exam will be its last. Catullus may reappear in the newly constituted AP Latin Exam(s). That has not been decided yet.  This book is already used in many non-AP classrooms at both the secondary school and college levels. Current AP Latin Lit. teachers may want to consider bringing some Catullus into their classrooms outside of the AP context for the near future. His appeal seems to be great at all levels of Latin study.
