Reviews

[Peggy · Rating 5 out of 5]

Psappha is/was a severely truncated version of my life's work. When it went out of print, my editor convinced me to go back to my uncut manuscript to revise and augment Psappha's story. You can read the longer, enhanced version as SAPPHO SINGS CreateSpace, 2008

Yours in good reading,
