Is there another way?

Stephen,

I suggest you share your advice with the quoted author, Astrida B. Stahnke.  Here is Stahnke’s quote, once more, in context:

Astrida B. Stahnke on Vizma Belsevica

“The next step is to find a publisher, thus hopefully making her works accessible to a wider international audience.

Belševica’s is a voice that needs to be heard in English, even in translation [italics mine]. It is a voice that opens the long-closed Soviet-occupied world, be it Latvia or any other Eastern European country that shed its shackles with such force that, it seemed, the earth trembled and the mighty fell….”

Astrida B. Stahnke is also the author of Aspazija: Her Life and Her Drama.

I’ll raise Arija’s bid and offer $30.
