I should have mentioned that John Ridland's new translation of several passages from Sir Gawain appear in the new Dark Horse. Not having read the original in decades I can only say that this version is vivid, engaging, and musical. John is a sometimes-visitor here and a fine poet whose translation of John the Valiant, the Hungarian national epic, is a wonderful read. That book will be reviewed in an upcoming issue of Light -- can't recall the reviewer's name.
