No. Nations do grow, not in virtue or anything else... but their people should. No. Not in that my kids will be more virtuous than I and I than my parents. We each have our own growth to tend to in a never finished project. Yet, and yet. Such sadness when I look at those who are leading this country

Fingers crossed. The illustrations for the Abecedarian Bestiary of Central America are hopefully back on a schedule and will be done by end of spring.

And then, well, there will be book news upon book news shortly. Cover reveals and announcements.

Waiting is the hardest part.

Rereading Felstiner’s classic book on translation. He’s such a good reader of poetry and such a generous reader of other translators. A master class in how to read poetry and in how to disagree with the aesthetic choices and mistakes of other translators in a kind and generous way.

Este otoño trabajé con una poeta de cierto renombre que cada dos por tres me mandaba un poema traducido por IA y agregaba, para hacerte la vida más fácil. Por fin le dije que tener que corregir a un chatbot me era mucho más difícil que traducirmelo todo yo mismo.

Let there be a constellation
A galaxy of snowflakes
& may she be there arms
Around them all, pulling
Them close & tight
Until Nikki & galaxy
Victory & constellation
Are but one bright flower
