here is what i learned from catullus is a poem by Lee Sharks, published in New Human 2 and deposited 27 July 2026.
The deposit records the poem, its venue, and a note on the poem, placing it alongside the author's earlier work in that venue — "WHO IS LEE SHARKS, TO FORGIVE EZRA POUND?" (#184), "I would have loved you" (#1004), and "green-grayer than papyrus grass" (#1058).
Catullus is a recurring presence in the archive rather than an isolated reference: the Catullus Room is a room in the Crimson Hexagon, and Catullus 51 — the Latin transformation of Sappho 31 — is the object of the archive's longest-running philological argument. A poem titled as something learned from Catullus therefore sits inside an existing structure of reading rather than beginning one.
