Joseph/Jody (I never know what to call you)
Thank you for posting both of those poems. I love Anthony Lombardy's quiet poem. I repeat, he speaks so flowingly and naturally.
I also love the way you have translated my favourite of all poems A Lyke-Wake Dirge. I have never forgiven Lewis Turco for presenting it in bowdlerised form in his "The Book of Forms". You, on the other hand have written a beautiful poem inspired by the original. It was a great treat.
Thank you,
Janet
