If you get one, Harry, ask if she's got a sister.
On second thoughts, I can't cope with the one I've got. What would I be like with two?

We have some things in common! I used to live in the West Midlands (Kenilworth) and I'm a vegan too. I don't know if you were raised Catholic as well, but your poems, particularly Hung Out to Dry, really struck me. Wonderful work. Best wishes. x

I love this! Very entertaining... now fancy myself as a member of the metrical profession! I will don a beret and twiddle my moustache.

Thank you Dorinda. My maternal great grandmother was French, too. I am hoping to get some French poetry on the wiki soon.
However, the idea of 'playing around' with the initial draft translations, or the word-for-word translations is definitely a part of this exercise. In the workshops I found a great deal of interest in using a translation to create a new version of something, as well as the original idea of trying to translate the poet's intentions.
I hope to see you on Monday at Stockport Write Out Loud.
