We are looking for translators of the poem Hästen by Anna Rydstedt and we are trying to solve the copyright issue for the late translators of Thieme's poem sequence Finnland: Teivas Oksala and Lars and Mats Huldén.

We have improved the readability of our essay section and established new essays by:
