Also Wieslaw Szymborska, like Milosz and Brodsky, a Nobel Prize Winner and like them also well translated into English.<BR/><BR/>I also Love Jaan Kaplinksi, who makes his own translations from Estonian and whose poem, The East West Border I often quote as an image of the dilemma of central Europe.Cicerohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02090838836212624633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15037609.post-70185690872754397772009-04-04T09:34:00.000+01:002009-04-04T09:34:00.000+01:00Newmania: Thank you for the kind words.
