Re: [New-Poetry] That'll pay for quite a few pints: £60,000 Dylan award shortlist

Anny -- have I asked you this before? I have an entire nursery rhyme in Italian, in my memory, virtually the only thing I remember from my year in Italy when I was 9. I'm wondering if it's something that Italian children know, or whether I am the only person in the world who remembers it.

  this is excellent Italian, 
  let's see: sospinti (not really); Spazzati Via da un Destino Insolito (da un Raro Destino) nel Mare Blu d'Agosto
  you can play a little here, look: http://www.homolaicus.com/linguaggi/sinonimi/

    I would have put "Travolti da un insolito destino nell'azzurro mare d'agosto" but I couldn't think of the appropriate substitution for "Travolti." 

    "Soffiati da un insolito destino nell'azzurro mare d'agosto" ?

      :-)
      how is it that you can always read my thoughts?
      let's put instead of sea: Ocean
      and instead of August: any month would do...

          laughing for that "blown away"
          the one who wins might feel that way...

            £60,000 Dylan award list revealed  
             
            The six writers shortlisted for the Dylan Thomas Prize


            Six young authors have been named as finalists for the first Dylan Thomas £60,000 award, the world's largest literary prize. 
            The shortlist includes UK authors Rachel Trezise, Nick Laird, James Scudamore and playwright Lucy Caldwell. 

            They are joined by American Liza Ward and Zimbabwe-based Ian Holding in the running for the prize, which will be announced in October. 

            The judges said they had been "blown away" by what they had read.
