[New-Poetry] Re: Pinsky

[Crisman Cooley]

Slightly off the 'difficult poetry' topic...

Anny when you say "his translation of the Comedy", you mean of  
_Inferno_, right?  He hasn't translated _Purgatorio_ or _Paradiso_  
far as I know, but I've been out of the US for a while now.  If he  
did translate the others I'd be interested... his rhyme scheme in the  
first helped me in my book _Ester_.
