I do hope this translation is used all the time and read everywhere.

I hope it helps to kick the door down for more translations and work on "canonical texts" by people who've been kept out of the conversation. Perspective is wide-ranging and relevant! I want more perspectives all over these stories.

Yes it does. It does so much especially with this text. So much toxic masculinity has wanted it one way. So this is kick ass.

Being a novelist gave me a unique opportunity to come in from the outside. The idea that a text like this one can "belong" only to a group of straight white men is an idea that can die. I'm joyful to do my part in smashing the gates...

And I see what so many others, including you, have done in the field to smash those barriers, too. I love to see gates getting trampled.

Forgive my excited tweeting about storming gates! I just respect the people in the field who've been working on this for so long, and kicking so much ass. It's a joy to get to talk about Beowulf with you. :)

No this is so great. It really is from the creative side where these historical pieces find get another life. And that is so necessary.
