What do you do?

[Ben Jackson]

and since we are taling about publications, here is my upcoming book on Czech-Portuguese poet Jorge/Frantisek Listopad.
I am only the co-author, but well...

I know I'm late to the party (just saw this now). Congrats for your hard work. It doesn't really matter if you are the co-author.

Loved reading these pages to learn more about people who post here!

I'm an expert on US and a foreign policy consultant and work for some think tanks. I recently dropped out of my PhD program in International Relations at the University of Tehran because of political reasons (I don't think liberals have a realistic future in Iran), and I'm looking to apply abroad now. I also have an MA in English literature.

I know, folks, you are not big fans of gardening, but I want to boast of my newest "pet". It's imperial fritillary. I planted the bulbs last Sempetmber and voila! There is + 6 C outside, but the flower is in its full beauty!

I actually love to garden, but yeah, urban living and all. NYC is like one big concrete jungle. I love staying at my friend's house in Provincetown for that reason: he has so many amazing things growing in his yard! [some photos I took in P-Town over the years]--

It's viola tricolor. Russian nickname of this flower is Eyes of little Anna (Anyuta), which is a little bit scary. This time of year we have only wild species:

In Portuguese the name of this flower is "Perfect Love " and in German "Little Stepmother" because of the sullen expression of its "face".

imagine the long wait of one year for this flower to bloom for one night and wilt before dawn ( a life of 6 hrs). Last time, he/she decided to make her visit in our small apartment. It is known as 'Nishagandhi" ( queen of the night) or "Brahmakamal" in these part of the world. Understand it is originated from central America. It has high medicinal qualities, used in the traditional medicines.

The German nickname is great one!!! It fits to the flower very well!
