I am a writer and translator. My most recent project is 'Anneliese's House' by Lou Andreas-Salomé, which I translated with Raleigh Whitinger. The profile image is from the wallpaper in William Morris's drawing room. My website is www.diehoren.com.
I think it's because we all have lives we could have lived but didn't. Poems like this let us mourn them.

In 2021, Raleigh Whitinger and I published the first English translation of the author's sixth and final novel. The TLS called it 'an intricate psychological novel . . . [that] deserves to be read widely':

I've been listened to Tchaikovsky for more than 60 years, and his music has lost done of its allure for me. I'm still delighted to hear new takes on it, like this recent recording of 'The Tempest':
