Nin, trying to find out more about your work (following Carrie Etter's recommendation, though not given in person) I was browsing through your blog and found my translation of Marzanna Kielar. What an intriguing coincidence! Have you managed to find more of her work? Where did you find this poem? What do you like about it?
Hi, Ela! Yes, I ordered a book of her translations though it has not arrived yet. It should be here soon. The editor of Zephyr Press put this poem in an interview that will be posted on the Best American Poetry blog next month. Tell me about this poet!
