5.0 out of 5 stars Tom's rare qualities, January 28, 2009
By Mr. Francis Palazzolo (nyc, ny United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Tom brings a technical accum to Sappho which is great, rarely such a nimble, complex and forceful voice discusses poetry. Then again, he also brings, another rarity in the book, a supple male voice that does not lose the feminine texture of Sappho.
