Tim, I would set aside the Hurley and pick up Irby et al.'s Labyrinths, the better and more crystalline translation.

Back to Bob Mezey, here's a link to a site with a number of his poems, including some of the Borges versions he did with his friend Dick Barnes: http://www.thehypertexts.com/Robert%...ture%20Bio.htm

Thank you so much for your remembrance and for the later link as well.

I've just stumbled on this very sad news. This is a great loss. Thanks, Clive,
for the touching post.

Bob was a wonderful poet and translator, and we're lucky that his work and accomplishment will always remain with us. Indeed, he was a great influence at Eratosphere in the earlier years, when he was quite active and did create the occasional stir both from posts of his masterful poems and incisive critique, as with his lively engagements with members; plus he hosted some Distinguished Guest forum events, such as the E.A. Robinson Festival and others. He'll be truly missed.
