Seeking out poetry in a language not your own is a beautiful trait to hold. Happy to share more poetry just for you, Marian :)

Thank you! I started with Desert Tracings, a translation of several poets by Michael Sells, on the advice of a friend. The beauty of the words is an epiphany.

It’s hard to choose from all those timeless wisdom of poets so for me I will leave the choice for you. I would also like to hear your feedback about my Substack as we are working on the same niche I believe that we will learn a lot from each other
