Well Versed: To Shakespeare, Poets, and the Performing Arts

By Abdiel LeRoy

Book Overview

Shakespeare Awakes

Romeo gazes at Juliet, as Juliet sighs to the stars, but poor Paris is left to play with himself Meanwhile, Hamlet has fouled his stockings, Puck has got his lovers crossed, and where are my yellow tights?

Here arises a poet out of Shakespeare's dream, spinning couplets for his comedies, quatrains for his quotations, and sonnets to celebrate his sonnets Join this thespian author as the curtain rises on his King Richard, soar on the wings of his Oberon, mourn with his Malvolio.

Then take a whirlwind ride through the performing arts of four continents: from prisoners staging a play in London to dancers channeling harpies in Beijing, from the orchestral halls of New York to the Tango dives of Buenos Aires.

All this awaits you in verses worthy of the Bard himself

"For lovers of Shakespeare, fine writing, challenging thoughts, and a wondrous sensitive humor, these poems, and the journeys on which they take us, will become part of the psyche. Outstanding "
