. PLEASE NOTE: The following audio files contain excerpts from the 'Lightworkers Family' telephone conference of Saturday 19 September 2009, hosted by Ms Carol Davis of Palm Springs (California), USA. The conference recording has been divided into shorter files for ease of selection and downloading.
For the past couple of years JW has been giving readings for Lightworkers teleconferences from the Ringing Cedars Series of 9 books by Vladimir Megré, which he translated between 2004 and 2008.
On this occasion he was asked to read from some of his other translations. This particular presentation includes short-story writer and poet Mikhail Sadovsky and poet Felix Gurt, both of whom make their home in the New York area -- Mikhail with his wife Rita and Felix with his wife Rita (yes, both are Ritas!).
.
Mikhail Sadovsky
.
Mikhail Sadovsky was a popular children's writer during the Soviet period. He also collaborated with a number of prominent composers to write songs for plays and films. After the collapse of the Communist system in the early 1990s, he was finally able to start publishing his works for adults. He and his wife emigrated to America in 2000 and now reside in the New York City area.

Felix Gurt
.
A graduate of the Moscow Polygraphic Institute and the Moscow Institute of Journalism and a specialist in photojournalism, Felix Gurt is the author of more than a dozen books and booklets dedicated to Russian historical sites.
Mr Gurt and his family emigrated to America in 1981 and they now make their home in New York City.
He has published two collections of poetry -- Somnen'ja cherv' podros [The worm of doubt has grown] (1997) and Tragikomedija [Tragicomedy] (2005). Most recently he has been working on a series of poems devoted to classical composers, two of which are read here in translation.
