TRANSLATIONS

Translating anything from one medium to another is tough enough, and poetry is well-nigh impossible. But although Anno's internal rhythm defies translation, his themes are universal. If anyone out there would like to try translating Anno's words - or anything else on the KjD/Anno websites - into other languages, their efforts will be much appreciated. Feel free to email the results to laurenticwave@aol.com and we will upload them, together with any introduction that you might care to add.
