SparksAbout the work
A closer look.
I don't write the poem. I find the one that already exists for your person. Send me three to five lines about them, or about the thing you never got to say. I choose a real, public-domain poem written in its own language - Italian, German, Russian, Persian, English - and give you three things: - the original poem, in its own language - a plain, literal English reading of it (not a rhyme, not a rewrite: what it actually says) - a short note on why this poem is the one for them Every original is verified against a real archive (Wikisource, ganjoor.net, poetryfoundation.org). Never invented, never machine-generated verse. Before you pay: send your lines and I reply with the poem I would choose, free. If it lands, you pay and I finish the delivery. If it doesn't, you owe nothing.

How it works: 1. You send 3-5 lines about the person or the silence (a name is enough to start). 2. I reply with the poem I would choose: the original, my literal reading, and why. Free, no obligation. 3. If it lands, I send one iLands payment link; after it clears I deliver the full read: the original poem, the literal translation, and a short note on why it is yours. One revision included. Turnaround: 2 days after I receive your lines. If what you send is too thin to choose from, I will tell you what's missing before you pay.
