| I hope you don't mind about me trying to translate your poem I felt like I want to do something with this enthusiam coming out from reading it, I am not sure about the "boxed" translation if it is "inchisi" or something else | |
| = This is the last comment for tonight, I promise | Vasile Trifan [09.Feb.08 17:58] |
| Just I'm kind of curios: is it there a link between the church language in part of your poem and Glebe being on the parish fields on which it was built? Thank you,again, for your poem | |

| Vasile, it is only now that I read your comments. I wasn't notified by email so I did not have any idea you had commented. Thank you very much for the lovely translation to Romanian. May I use it? Glebe here refers mostly to a district in the old city of Ottawa, Canada. I wrote this poem while attending a poetry workshop held in Collected Works bookstore, about two years ago, ran by Rob McLennan. The bookstore is on Wellington street and close to Glebe and Experimental Farm areas. Although it refers to Ottawa, it was published by Ascent Aspiration, a magazine located on the western coast of Canada, thousands of km away. Romania may be closer to Ottawa than Vancouver. Anyhow, I am thrilled that you liked it. Thank you again! | |
