I have since taught it frequently in my own classes, and hope that many other works will be translated soon. I'm looking forward to reading It and Butterfly Valley very soon. I fear that you're right in saying the U.S. is too insular and translates too little. But Christensen's work has a growing number of readers thanks to Nied's amazing work. I know I'm not the only one teaching Alphabet. I'm hopeful that she'll receive the worldwide audience and acclaim that her work deserves. She was a truly magnificent poet.
