If the Translation fete weren't going on, I would post this info there, but the traffic would soon cause it to disappear.

Just want to tell our translators that the current Drunken Boat is a translation issue. Much to savor.

I reckon the savvy folks at the Translation forum are immediately cognizant of the origins of the name. Not that I have any inside info but well, it's gotta be, ain't it?

Janice, I admit I'm not getting the exact allusion--I think of ancient Chinese poets, or maybe modern Swedish ones. What is the source, in fact?

Thanks for the link, btw, I hadn't seen Olga Broumas around for a while.

Le Bateau ivre by Rimbaud? Is my guess.

[Andrew Frisardi]

I'm sure you're right, Janice. I forgot about that one.

[Janice D. Soderling]

I hadn't read the entire issue when I posted, so big apologies to Julie Kane who has a translation in this issue.

Should this be at Acc Mem then? Adam, what do you think?

[Adam Elgar]

To Acc Mem, let us drunkenly or soberly sail!
Félicitations!

[Rick Mullin]

Sure, Rimbaud.
