Guy Daniels, translator and poet

[Robert Chandler]

Dear all,

Some of Guy Daniel's translations of Lermontov (I have not yet seen any of his other translations) are very good.  Does anyone happen to know any of his family? If so, I would be very grateful for their contact details.

At the foot of this message I am pasting in an obituary from the New York Times.

All the best,

Robert
