Waltzing the Magpies

While actor Robin Williams may have captured his madcap classroom antics in Dead Poets' Society he didn't uncover the other side of the author--Sam Pickering as one of our great American men of letters.

Sam Pickering is Professor of English at University of Connecticut in Storrs. He's the author of more than a dozen books of essays, including Trespassing, The Blue Caterpillar and Other Essays, and The Last Book. He is married and has three children.
