  Today my copy of Robert Chandler's translation of Andrey Platonov's Chevenger arrived. I was pleasantly pleased to find my translation work, Blue Depths: The Russian Revolution Poems of Andrei Platonov , mentioned under "Further Reading" on page 521. I was not able to get this work formally published, but for me there is a more energizing economy, more vital than monetary, that comes from knowing one's capacity can contribute in some way. For sure getting lost in the creative process is part of the joy, but after it all, as an engineer designs machines for use so a wordsmith works with words.
