Thank you, Alma. Most interesting. A very good translation that deserved a prize. I particularly liked the comments from the translator as they explain many of the difficulties encountered in the process and how he solved them. Translating poems is one of the most complicated processes that you can imagine. To be able to convey the full meaning you need to be not only an excellent translator, but also a poet.
