|---|
"This is the story of a poet from his conception to his early adulthood. The boy is always a poet and always struggles for his independence from his overbearing mother whose greatest accomplishment in life is having the poet. The poet grows to fall in love with a woman but his love is shortlived when he becomes insanely jealous of his girlfriend's past love experience. The poet never achieves manhood and dies after betraying his girlfriend and fails to make love to another woman. "
Daniela Lo Presti, Resident Scholar
