Many thanks, I will indeed get a copy of Benjamin's archive. He also had a lot to say about literary translation, which is one my major pastimes. Incidentally, I've very much enjoyed reading April's translation issue of Poetry, most especially the renderings of poems by César Vallejo. Keep up the great work! Dear Don,

About your Benjamin question, I suppose the best place to start would be <i>The Arcades Project</i>, available in English translation in a lovely paperback edition from the Belknap imprint of Harvard University Press.

There is yet room for the mystical and the primordial in modern poetry... this gives me hope as both reader and writer. Congratulations also to Alicia Stallings for her two poems, and to the translations from the Hungarian. I am searching for information on Walter Benjamin´s concept of writing as a mosaic, I haven't found much on the internet as yet... If anyone could provide some bibliography, I would be most grateful. Kind regards Antoine Cassar. Hello Don,
