About me I am a translator (from Slovene and Russian to English), originally from Baltimore, Maryland. My interests include contemporary art, classical Greece, Russian literature, Central and Eastern Europe, translation. I have a particular interest in the 19th-century Russian poet Evgeny Baratynsky (pictured), and am preparing a translation of his poetry.
Current reading: Hart Crane, The Complete Poems and Selected Letters and Prose; Tony Judt, Postwar
Some favorite quotations:
It could be a good day; it needs to be treated carefully.
- Michael Cunningham, The Hours.
You will find no comfort here,
In the kingdom of bang and blab.
- Theodore Roethke, "The Lost Son: I. The Flight"
To know only one thing well is to have a barbaric mind: civilization implies the graceful relation of all varieties of experience to a central humane system of thought.
– Robert Graves, The White Goddess

Sorry not to reply to your comment for so long - for some reason I just haven't logged in for ages... I need to do a lot of catching up!
