does anyone have W.S. Merwin's purgatorio?
i'd love to compare it to other translations i've read.
what do you want to know about it

i want to read it.
but i cant find any online version, and my current situation doesn’t allow me to buy it. (no permanent address)
i want to read an English verse translation and compare it to the original Italian.
Also this translation has an excellent reputation among Dante scholars. (or at least the one i know)
PS: also China, where i'll be staying, doesn’t approve allot of books. especially 'religious' texts.
still you can get around that.
i have a hard copy i don't think there's an online copy around :|
for what it's worth i think it's quite good.

Oh… I know this is a hell of request but any chance someone could digitize their copy and email it to me ?
