When a promising playwright is seduced, the consequences are both foul and fair for a Dark Lady and a Fair Youth."All the world’s a stage…"Will Shakespeare’s vaulting ambition in the theatre world threatens everything he holds dear. Craving recognition, he makes a risky choice that backfires when he faces the revenge of a rival playwright. Struggling with the collapse of his career, the question Will must decide before the scene that ends his eventful story is: if fame is to be, is it worth sacrificing his soul? Or if it’s not to be, what meaning will his life have had?"What’s past is prologue…"Living in the shadow of his cousin, Jack Falstaff, young Will tries to escape his self-destructive tendencies, but each poor decision brings him closer to the same inevitable fate he desperately tries to avoid. Haunted by his past, as his life unravels, Will must confront his demon and find a way to break free from his grip. Will he learn his faults lie not in the stars but within himself, before what’s to come in his present destroys his future?"The course of true love never did run smooth…"Trapped in a cycle of empty encounters, which leave him longing for something more meaningful, when the Dark Lady enters his life, Will’s caught in a romantic entanglement that threatens everything he’s worked for. Torn between the pull of lust and the hope for love, he struggles to reconcile these feelings. Will he come to understand that true love looks not with the eyes but with the mind; that it’s not about desire, but surrendering to vulnerability, or will obsession blind his understanding of what real love truly means?Seducing Will Shakespeare is a poetic adventure unfolding in the first two books of the series: Taming of the Screwed and Love’s Labor’s Battles Lost & Won.

Romeo and Juliet is a tragedy written by William Shakespeare early in his career about the romance between two Italian youths from feuding families. It was among Shakespeare's most popular plays during his lifetime and, along with Hamlet, is one of his most frequently performed plays. Today, the title characters are regarded as archetypal young lovers.Romeo and Juliet belongs to a tradition of tragic romances stretching back to antiquity. The plot is based on an Italian tale written by Matteo Bandello and translated into verse as The Tragical History of Romeus and Juliet by Arthur Brooke in 1562 and retold in prose in Palace of Pleasure by William Painter in 1567. Shakespeare borrowed heavily from both but expanded the plot by developing a number of supporting characters, particularly Mercutio and Paris. Believed to have been written between 1591 and 1595, the play was first published in a quarto version in 1597. The text of the first quarto version was of poor quality, however, and later editions corrected the text to conform more closely with Shakespeare's original.Shakespeare's use of poetic dramatic structure (including effects such as switching between comedy and tragedy to heighten tension, the expansion of minor characters, and numerous sub-plots to embellish the story) has been praised as an early sign of his dramatic skill. The play ascribes different poetic forms to different characters, sometimes changing the form as the character develops. Romeo, for example, grows more adept at the sonnet over the course of the play. Read more

Written by the engaging host of the popular show, Poetry Unbound, the poems of Kitchen Hymns are finely honed melodies of survival—shaped with both humor and anger, force and conviction.Pádraig Ó Tuama’s Kitchen Hymns opens with a question: “Do You Believe in God?” — but the bee, “gone extinct,” cannot answer, and the grass calls believe “a poor verb.” This collection trades belief for language, and philosophy is grounded in form and narrative. Kitchen Hymns is structured like a ghost mass, where even if God is a “favorite emptiness,” longing still has things to say: Jesus and Persephone meet at Hell’s exit and discuss survival; someone believes more in birds than belief; hares carry messages from the overworld to the underworld. A study in lyric address, Kitchen Hymns speaks to a shifting “you”: an unknown you; the strange you; a lover, a hated other; the you of erotic desire; the you of creation and destruction. Large themes are informed by and contained in a poetics of observation, humor, trauma, dialogics, lament, rage and praise. Delivered in finely honed melodies, shaped with force and conviction, Kitchen Hymns “reckon[s] with the empty,” and becomes “busy with a body / not a question.” Read more
