Dana Gioia, who is a masterful translator of verse, once told me that Wilbur should publish all his verse translations in a single volume entitled Look on my Works, Ye Mighty, and Despair.
On one of Dick's infrequent forays here (he doesn't use computers) I asked him to look at a Clive Watkins major poem and one of Andrew's first attempts at translating the young Dante. He shared my enthusiasm, and he obviously shares my enthusiasm for Andrew's finished text.
Congratulations, Andrew.
