I was asked by the poet to translate either of her poems about Masinqo, Lalibela & Lake Tana. I translated all three. For those interested in the poems or my translations contact me offline and I will send you. The poet also would like to introduce Amharic poetry to the audience and she offered to translate or work on English version of a nice short Amharic poetry. Here is what I need your help. I am looking for small amharic GiTm which can be representative of the language's poetic tradition preferably from celebrated writer of Amharic poetry. Other than some of the works of Kebede Mikael, Mengistu Lemma, Yoftahe Negussie, Tsegaye GM, Solomon Derssa, BeEwqetu Seyoum etc. which were already translated to English, can you suggest some?
