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. -- Richard Falken's Website: http://www.richard-falken.com
