It's been almost a year since Rhymes for Adults was published, so it's roughly time for the first review. This is in the current edition of The Barefoot Muse, and even touts my smutty Latin translations for those who "like your light verse a subtle shade of blue."

Don't just take my word for it -- the collection "may be small, but it's a treat!"

Oh, yes, everyone should buy this. Larry's translations are a hoot. It's good to know that dirty minds have been around for many, many years.
