Hausman displays a deeper understanding of the natural world than
most writers of our generation." "He
awakens, not only the poet's skill and sensitivity, but also our
own nature, power and inherent divinity..." "Your
students are indeed fortunate to have someone in their midst who
can communicate enthusiasm for learning - the greatest lesson
a school could ever teach." |
