This collection contains poetry written in the English Classical tradition and in the Formalist genre. Includes sonnets, rhymed verse and a narrative poem, titled Tamburel, fully in the Romantic tradition. Tamburel is a knight who mysteriously finds himself in the dangerous and other-worldly land of the faerie and their dark lords, spellbound by a femme fatale from that enchanted land. A new one act play in modern Shakespearean blank verse is also included, based on the ancient Greco-Roman mythological story of the star-crossed lovers, Pyramus and Thisbe; a story that was also precursor to Shakespeare's play, Romeo and Juliet. This collection is ideal for those drawn to the brilliant and beautiful poetry of times long gone and yet who prefer it written in a more modern English.
