Dear readers and subscribers, this week I continued to add more poets and poems to our American, French and Russian poetry pages. Our new American poets are Phillis Wheatley, Claude McKay, Henry David Thoreau, and Walt Whitman. For the French poets I introduced André Marie Chénier, Pierre Jules Théophile Gautier, Alphonse Daudet and Paul Éluard, and I supplemented our Russian section with the poets Fyodor Dostoyevsky and Afanasy Afanasyevich Fet.

I also took the time to translate the transcript of the video of the Address of the Russian President to his Federal Assembly on February 29, 2024 in English and French

I hope you’ll find something to enjoy.
