Marie de Montpellier (in France) is translating two more of my poems into French. She's already done two others. Her current choices are one from Desire ("Forgetting You") and one from Counting Fingers, Smelting Light ("Remembering Ricky"). I am very excited, pleased and honored. YAY! :-D Woohoo!

I think it's very difficult to translate a poem into French. It is a language with many nuances!

so true. i've even had very literate french friends give up trying to take one of mine from english to french. :>>))
Unfortunately, I'm not that good with French. But I know Marie had trouble with some of the words and meanings not having direct equivalents.
It's sich an interesting process.
I love the dialogue!
thanks for sharing
Yay! I just wanted to say congrats and leave you a quick thanks for visiting my blog. I am including a poem of my own on one of my blogs, so if you could give me some feedback, it'd be greatly appreciated.
Again, congratulations! That's an accomplishment to be proud of.
