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

"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!"
San Francisco Review of Books


If Dante had gone down to Argentina…

This is what he might have come up with! A whirlwind tour through the performing arts of a secret underworld, a demonic descent into the depths of Tango's dark side, followed by an ascent to God's throne with an Old-Testament prophet!

Meanwhile, the bard alights on the stages of three capital cities: London, Beijing, and Buenos Aires to dance with a writhing sistershood of shapeshifting goddesses, to spar with the villains of Shakespeare, and steal secret kisses with his star-crossed lovers.

All this awaits you in this enchanted and enchanting book, where all the world's a stage and all of us are players! Now take your place among the immortals!
