Oh thank you for writing this essay-I love it

your previous one lead me to share a translation of this poem by a friend, you probably remember:

https://chenrafaeli.substack.com/p/squares

actually we were playing in sort of a game-he'd post his translation and we'd to guess a poem.

only later, reading you, I learned about all the history

and now really grateful about expanding on it

PS rien a voir, but still thinking about translating Teffi, and what to choose to maybe burden you with. There are too many stories I love thus, want others to love them.
