The same that I do when I visit english blogs (that world so unknown for me).
International greetings.

Thanks, Michelle. Glad you’re getting value from the site. I suppose that’s the one aspect of a “hi-res” MFA program we don’t get as much: the between-the-lines dialog and community that goes with poets being in the same physical space. Hopefully this virtual space (and other virtual spaces) can help fill that gap.

I’m gleaning lot’s of great reading ideas from your site, Robert, so glad to offer something back. “Otherwise” is a terrific compilation of Kenyon’s work. I highly recommend.

Peace,
Mich

Indeed, Michelle – wish you could have been there. To see a poet received so adoringly by her audience was heartening. And what a poet.

I guess I should add some Kenyon to next semester’s reading list …

“patient attention, quiet revelation”

exactly what I’m loving about Jane Kenyon right now (I’m reading “Otherwise”). The world is definitely too much with us. wish I could have been with you guys at Mary Oliver!

best,
Michelle

Vigo – gracias por tu mensaje. Ya he visto este sitio de web, y pensÃ© que las poemas fue traducido bien. Me gustarÃa mejorar mi EspaÃ±ol para leer las poemas de Neruad, Machado, y lo demÃ¡s con fluidez, y hacer a nuevo y mejorar en las traducciones a InglÃ©s de poetas hispanohablante que no son tan comÃºn como ellos. Por eso, yo pensÃ© que leyendo sitios literarios en espaÃ±ol puede ayudarme en eso. Gracias otra vez por visitarme aquÃ.

Vigo – thanks for your message. I have visited this website, and thought the poems were translated well. I would like to improve my Spanish in order to read the poems of Neruda, Machado, and others fluently, and to make new translations and improve upon existing translations to English of other, less well-known Spanish-speaking poets. I thought that reading literary websites in Spanish could assist me to that end. Thanks again for visiting me here.

(y disculpeme mi EspaÃ±ol – seguro que es inperfecto)

Thanks for your commentary in my blog “La libreria” (better later than never). It cheers to me to have to a literary english reader although only is once day. You speak spanish? Sorry for my english (ja,ja)
Good, it does not have too much importance, either. But I would like that you visited this page: http://poemaseningles.blogspot.com that is mine too, and if you can give me your opinion that it seems to you. Thank you and greetings.
