I am not much of a fan of language adaptations for poems. They are very hard to
do well and usually end up trashing the original. I suppose it is less of a
problem if you are translating from old english to new English (instead of, for
example, English to Spanish, which works very bad).

Also, 30 bucks for a 100 page book is a bit harsh of a price.
