5.0 out of 5 stars I've read Senlin: A Biography, July 16, 2000

This review is from: The Charnel Rose, Senlin: A Biography and Other Poems (Library Binding)

Since no one else has reviewed it, I'll put in my two cents. This particular poem although long is very intriguing. Even my English teacher had some trouble interpretting it. I initially came in contact with it as L'Engle quoted it in one of her books. I've heard great things about a number of his poems so I'm sure this book is great as well.
