POETREE

I'm kinda dubious about the Noyes, actually -- it's very clean verse and he hasn't actually thrown up any of the usual "I'm a poet who only thinks he Gets Science!" blunders, but neither has he proven he does. It's smooth reading, though, which is a plus, and the opening frame (from his attending First Light at an observatory in Mexico) is nicely handled indeed. And potted biographies of Brahe, Kepler, Galileo, et al. should be worth something.

Will see how it goes.
