One of my all-time favorite reads. I love it so much I added a review on Amazon. I still think it is the only review of this book. Here's the Amazon review: It is no accident that Carotenuto continually refers to poets such as Rilke in his discourse. He looks to them, and to all creative minds, to elu Leggi tutto
