@paularcurtis What!!? Where?

[@torquil.bsky.social @torquilduthie]

@paularcurtis I have mixed feelings about it: read as a parody it’s actually sort of brilliant?

[@torquil.bsky.social @torquilduthie]

@paularcurtis This looks like your kind of cookie?

@EmilyRCWilson Great indeed—a wonderful review that measures up to the translation (and it so happens just as I was looking for a translation of Ovid)

I wrote a blog post on my translation of the Kokinshu: https://t.co/faz65ScHTJ

@StephBalkwill I read each paragraph forward for sense, and then retrace each sentence backward for typos. It’s very tedious and I’m not good at keeping my concentration though…

[@torquil.bsky.social @torquilduthie]

@StephBalkwill Congratulations!

[@torquil.bsky.social @torquilduthie]

@HiromuNagahara @MedievalChina @JacarArchivesJP Very cool!
