heyzine.com/flip-book/24... is my work in progress, translating 6388 lines of epic poetry from the Czech original by my late father, alias Jan Křesadlo.

I headed up IT in Czech and Slovak Unilever, then in a regional role, between 1998 and 2005. Inspired by "Intel inside", I suggested to Peter ter Kulve that we could boost bad-weather ice cream sales with the slogan "Summer inside". The rest is history. www.flickr.com/photos/jay-c...

A random thought: In Peter Greenaway's film The Draughtsman's Contract, (where the director himself is the artist behind the drawings of 'Mr. Neville',) I found it incongruous that the drawings looked very modern, quite unlike those of the film's 17th century setting.

A neat geo-poetic project to which I have been contributing English translations explores the city of Brno, its poets, and the locations their poems reference. Every city with a cultural heritage would do well to take up that idea. brnopoeticke.cz/index.php

There were further translations of poems in store, this time not just from Czech and Slovak: karolinum.cz/knihy/hrdlic...

Translating the book "Poetry in Exile" also meant translating sample poetry, which is a challenge I enjoy. karolinum.cz/knihy/hrdlic...
