This translation is sublime. The preservation of the iambic hexameter is heroic in itself, but the read is also breezy and sumptuous.
Recommended #reading for anyone into #fantasy, #war, #poetry, or of course #mythology.
Thank you @emilyrcwilson.bsky.social

Sometimes I fight with flames

that refuse to burn as bright as I prefer

while I'm reading Dostoevsky.

Earnest post, but: a thing I like here is it’s okay to have moments of happiness in public without being broadly scolded, and I believe that sustaining this kind of humanity will be very important as we resist fascism.

We have to sustain each other. Making joy isn’t denial, it’s how we will survive

I'm a typewriter poet.
Thought I'd try my hand at little greeting cards.
Hmu if you're interested. I can also work with you on a custom commission: poem, card, website copy, whatever needs words.
