Here is Denis Ferhatović's recreation of the Old English poem, The Wanderer, just published in the literary journal Exchanges. Gorgeous, funny, heart-breaking.

Lovely observations from Irina on exclusion and communities and love. (And how difficult but rewarding it is learning to not need to be the focus of attention but just to be part of the whole.)
All of which she says much more eloquently.
The fact that Nyong’o’s beauty is causing a war between two rival cultures in America right now is proof enough that she is the perfect Helen of Troy.
