Happy Birthday, Clayton! Another year wiser and still translating life's mysteries better than anyone else. Your brilliant translation of Cesar Vallejo's poetry didn't just win you the National Book Award—it won our hearts too!From Indiana to Hotel Cro-Magnon, you've journeyed through literary landscapes with unmatched wit and insight. Companion Spider spun webs of wisdom that continue catching readers in awe. May your birthday be filled with laughter as timeless as your words—and may this next chapter bring even more poetic adventures (and fewer spiders). Cheers to another fantastic orbit around the sun—keep inspiring us all!
