Guy Daniels, translator and poet

[Robert Orr]

It caught my eye that Guy Daniels was able to get published in both The
Nation and The National Review (before the latter magazine went over a
cliff, too), which truly says something.

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
