Thank you, Doug Holder!

Enjoyed hearing you read this today, Kymm! Witty and wise, the poem is, especially,
"Recite each poem in the voice of a blackbird.
Learn to speak with your beak. Less tongue." :)

So enjoyed hearing you read this yesterday, Kymm - but it needed savouring as words on a page too! It is witty and clever and inventive and I imagine any poet would be lucky to have you as their translator...

I so enjoyed your participation at dVerse and I really love the notes on translation. I only know Swedish apart from English but I do not write poetry in Swedish.... I find that there is often some thing lost in translation.
