Arion
I've just heard that seven of my translations of Sir Thomas More's Latin epigrams will be appearing in the Spring/Summer 2011 issue of Arion, a journal that deals with classics and the classical influence on culture.

If that isn't impressive, I don't know what is! Humble bows to you, erudite Susan.

First Things
The June/July First Things is on line. I was struck by an epigrammatic cinquain, "The Priests' Graveyard," by West Chester's Lisa Barnett, a perfect poem. And by a fine poem about choosing his cemetary plot by our Bob Crawford. The real highlight for me, though, is "God's Patient Stet," a major essay on Dick Wilbur by David Lyle Jeffrey. The best essays I've read on Wilbur are by Sullivan and Espaillat, but this one is in that league. Professor Jeffrey knows his Bible cold, and therefore has insights into Wilbur that I lack, despite my deep familiarity with the man and his work. All the foregoing require subscription to view, but online subscription is only $15. It's worth that just to read George Weigel's majestic appraisal of John Paul II's place in 20th and 21st Century intellectual life.

Oh dammit, I meant this to be a new post. Anyway, congratulations Susan, on a fine placement. I saw Arion when Charles Martin was sending me his offprints from Ovid's Metamorphosis. This is probably the top spot for any translator of the classics.
