Dreams and Dust Hardcover – August 18, 2008

I can't understand why Don Marquis has been out of print for so long. This is excellent, but Archy and Mehitabel is even better. It should be required reading for all! Just magnificent and an example that we never learn anything through history... or why would we not have this at the forefront of our consciousness? All the time... avoid this at your peril.

I don't care for this in particular but perhaps i don't like this poetry. Read the other Don Marquis works, especially Archie and Mehitabel series in which a cockroach named Archie types free verse. a daily column written by Don Marquis in the 1920's

Don marquis is one of my most respected philosphers. He does not allow prejudice to muddy his waters of wisdom. No seriously though, hes a great guy. I've talked with him a few times before. He is a straight shooter knows how to put things elequently and succintly. Dreams and Dust is something everyone should read at one point in there lifes.
