Hey there, p.etcers!
I meant to link this new poetry video I did earlier, but I was busy
blasting it over social media and getting it done in the first place.
The video features my friend Aaro Peltonen improvising impressively on an
acoustic guitar, accompanying me while I perform two of my translations of
Arto Melleri poems. If you don't know who Melleri was, there's a
description of him, his oeuvre, and my work involving his poetry in the
video info on YouTube, which you can find here:

After translating about 60-odd poems by the man, I shelved the project for
a while. But I still intend to publish a significant selection of his
poetry in English, in book form, via channels I have yet to properly
investigate. Any suggestions are welcome!
Hope you dig the vid, and that you're all doing well in the wide world!
Best,
Kasper
