Magazine Monday: 3 from Cave Wall #5
July 12, 2010
One has pulleys ready to haul up a tin moon, one has small fish nibbling its ears, and one is king of whatever it marks off with its urine.
“Small Town Opera Company, Opening Night,” by Clare Rossini, “What if Hamlet Had Drowned Instead of Ophelia,” by J.P. Dancing Bear, and “Again About the Lion,” by János Szentmártoni (and translated from Hungarian by Paul Sohar) are all part of Cave Wall #5.

Hi Rhett, Thanks, and please thank Karten Piper for me and for Janos Szentmartoni.
Have restful summer!
Paul Sohar
Hi Paul–thanks for stopping by.
I don’t know a lick of Hungarian, so thank you for translating the Lion poem. Never would have read it without you. (And I’ve edited the post to include your name, too!)
Appreciatively, Karsten
Hi Karsten,
Thanks so much for featuring my poem. You read it wonderfully.
Best and warmest,
J.P. Dancing Bear
Thanks, J.P. And you’re welcome! I liked your “Hamlet” in passing a year and a half ago and it was a real pleasure to go back through those old issues and read it again. “What would cause them to celebrate so without me?”–that’s great.
