I hope literature (and other art forms, obviously), as well as the organizations that help sustain it, can survive the current upheaval--that's much too feeble a word for what's going on, but you know what I mean.

You are most welcome, of course--and I hope your own work is going well, notwithstanding the unbelievably fraught times we are in. By the way, Sand-Catcher has made it onto a long list. Maybe you've already heard, but in case not: literarytranslators.org/awards/2025-...

Sincere thanks to YOU, Cory (if I may) for your thoughtful review in the Globe (my hometown rag, as it happens). I particularly appreciated the research you had evidently done, and that you pointed out the underrepresentation of Palestinian literature in translation. Thank you again.
