Poetry. "Nin Andrews' DEAR PROFESSOR, DO YOU LIVE IN A VACUUM? is a pioneer in epistolary poetry. With hilariously sublime results, her poems take the form of befuddled e-mails from struggling students to their physics professor. While Nin Andrews uses the line break the way comics use the punch line, the poems are also profound in their insights regarding power, male/female relationships, and spirituality. Nin Andrews has an insatiable, tender, and wry imagination"--Denise Duhamel.

Editorial Reviews
Review
I was amazed when Nin Andrews first wrote to me with this collection of remarkable gems, collected from real student notes to a real professor, and formatted as poetry. I urged her to publish the collection so that more people could enjoy them. And enjoy them you will. They could not be more illuminating, or amusing, if one had tried to invent them oneself. There is not a single note that isn't worth preserving, and I expect I will borrow from this collection frequently! A great little book to glance at when you need a lift when pondering about the state of modern education. --Lawrence M. Krauss
