For about a year now, Alisa Heinzman and I have been at work on a book of poem translations from the French by Jacques Rebotier called  Some Animals for Transport and for Companionship.  Tonight (but this morning, for her) we finished reading through it via Skype and we think it&rsquo;s about ready for the world. If you&rsquo;d want to read a poem or two while you wait, there are some drafts of them  here , and  here , and  here .
