I second Stephen's reaction re: museum. I'd also question what you
mean by long, poem and relevant. I have no problem with "is the still
or is it," which is actually kind of interesting.
Best,

"Not since the 1982 publication of Paul Auster's Random House Book of
Twentieth Century French Poetry has a bilingual anthology so
effectively broadened the sense of poetic terrain outside the United
States and also created a superb collection of foreign poems in
English. There is nothing else like it." John Palattella in The
Nation
