I forgot to mention that this issue also has my long review of Emily Thornbury's fine book, Becoming a Poet in Anglo-Saxon England. At the urging of the editors, I included some humorous, but relevant, material about my struggles with Latin that began at the age of 11.

Some of you might be amused...

Oh, I would love to read that book but draw the line at paying one thousand kronor. Maybe it will be available as "a used copy" in a few years.

Perhaps in due time your essay will become available online. Or maybe I will shell out twenty kronor and buy it.

Thanks for the post, Michael. Enjoyed the poem, and ordered the book on interlibrary loan. There is a saying for your crab: "Change? Aren't things bad enough as they are?"

I'm sorry so many of these things are so expensive, but I post them mostly because some Eratoish people can access academic libraries.
