@M_Liszt I'm a Germanophile & a Japanophile--that's two for the price of one! ;) I translate Ru/Eng poetry, so I'm aware of the difficulties

@NinaByzantina Do you translate it yourself? That's amazing! I usually read a translated book from it's original language.1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

@M_Liszt In Russian, Mayakovsky. In English, maybe Donne. There are several, whose standalone poems I like, e.g., Alexander Blok. Yourself?1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

@NinaByzantina I got interested in them. As for me, Edgar Allan Poe, Christina Rossetti and Jules Supervielle. They write a beautiful poem.1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

@M_Liszt Poe was a big part of my learning English in Russia as a child, & I obviously love "dark" literature. How about folk rhymes, etc.?1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

@NinaByzantina That sounds fun. I love dark work of art too, but I don't read many folk rhymes. What do you recommend?1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

@M_Liszt I mean folk songs & rhymes (oral history) from different cultures. My preference is Slavic. I don't think these translate well! :)1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -
@M_Liszt Unless I'm mistaken, in the sociology of the imaginary, Celts & Russians are both primarily "nocturnal" in terms of their myths.
