Yesterday, I was reading the stories of Saki. On the bedside table: --Larkin collected --Ho Xuan Huang, Spring Essence. I quite liked it. I liked how John Balaban brought a sense of form without choosing form over a faithful translation. --Tabish Khair. --A Singer of Tales, about Serbian bards --No Equal Justice, about race and the judicial system. --some issues of Poetry Nation, an English magazine from the 60's, that I picked up in a used bookstore. Another example of a magazine full of the assumption that free verse is a leftwing conspiracy. _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp
