Thomas (EMLV) de Haan (-Young) (verified owner) –
I gave this book 5 stars, should be more, 5+, that´s because the author knows more about Sigmund Freud, than Freud himself, plus also more about sexal and other symbols than Carl Gustav Jung knew. But of course the author of this oppinion is prejudiced, because HE, joke, is the AUTHOR of the book himself, what can be read as just poems too, and (prose) poems, ´A New Opening´, Thank you for my Swamming Suite, The sweet little Spook, and the Lady of the Dawn, the author is translating Jasn Pegler´s ´A Can of Madness´ at the moment, and trying to beget a figurative artist too!
Greetings,joke,
