5.0 out of 5 stars The Best Book Ever, April 21, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: The Pyramids of Malpighi (Paperback)

I haven't actually read this book, but the author teaches one of my classes here at the University of Missouri. If his poems are as insightful as his comments regarding poetry and literature, then the book is a must buy.
