# Kinton Ford’s Canto I

**[Arthur O'Dwyer](https://daily.dev/sources/quuxplusone)** · 7 min read · 0 upvotes · 0 comments

## Summary

A preservation of Kinton Ford's lipogrammatic translation of Canto I of Dante's Inferno, originally published in the now-defunct literary e-zine Exquisite Pandemic (2020–2021). The translation maintains Dante's exact 136-line terza rima structure while adhering to lipogrammatic constraints. The post includes the full text of the translation along with brief editorial notes on minor punctuation adjustments and observations about a few ambiguous or confusing passages.
