Thanks, Doug. I am intrigued as well, actually, because I have no idea where
it will take me. I'm gathering material for the next posting and it
includes, so far, Susan Minot's Rapture, which takes place during the course
of a single act of fellatio between former lovers who are trying to see if
they can get back together (which is a little reductive), chapter three of
the Bustan, by Saadi, which is the chapter I am currently translating and is
the one on being drunk and frenzied with divine love, and a couple of poems
from Circumference, which is a very good journal of translation published
here in NY.
We'll see. Right now, I am getting ready to go to Arizona.
Have a wonderful week!
Richard
