The article I thought I had to write by the end of this month doesn't actually have to be done until the end of March.

In other news: I am searching for poems. Specific poems: by or about, or having anything to do with, or even mentioning, the Russian poet Alexander Pushkin. The caveats: they have to be by Russian poets; they have to be in English; the translation has to be good (one you like).

On second thought, scratch the requirement for Russian poets. If there's a non-Russian poet you know who wrote/writes about Pushkin, please pass that on too.

Anyone? Belochka?

A demonstration of how bored I am right now...

Knowing nothing about Russian poetry, and knowing the odds against me finding anything you don't already know are astronomical, I still tried to do a google search and find something. Evgeny Rein's Arka Nad Vodoi (http://www.fas.harvard.edu/~slavic/review/rein.html) seems to refer to Pushkin, but I can't find an English translation, so this really wasn't much use, was it? Oh well.
