I especially like the foreign poems that have been translated into English by
someone who's not that familiar with the language. Awkward translations let
the flavor of the original poem seep through and allow for the liberal
(mis)interpretation so necessary for my enjoyment.
I like the young women on the landing page. Very exotic, very French. Someone should write a poem about them.
These days, I prefer reading transliterations to translations. The original word order brings me closer to the intended poem.
Poetry, of course, remains impossible to translate. There have been many threads on this.
Good to see you back, ray (did I say that before?)
