I feel that on my journey through Dante I came to discover myself in a way as I never would have otherwise and I now view the world in a more curious and wondrous fashion. I never would have been able to be so touched by this work of art if you had not led us so effectively and passionately as I know only you could. So thank you again for all you provided me and the rest of my peers in the brief time we shared together. </i></small> <br> <hr> <br> <br> <br><small>To browse the books I have published, follow this <a href="RAS Books Page.htm" target="_blank">link.</a></small> <br><small>To read poetry I have recently published, follow this <a href="http://www.bestthinking.com/thinkers/arts_and_entertainment/literature/poetry/al-shoaf" target="_blank">link</a> and open "Articles."</small> <br><small>My second volume of poetry, <I><a href="ER.htm" target="_blank">Erotic Reckonings</a></I>, is now available from <a href="http://newplainspress.com/Home_Page.html">New Plains Press</a>.
