The classic story of a scholar and student is brought to exquisite life in Ann Taylor's deft poems. "Ann Taylor reimagines the famous story of the medieval scholar and his student-turned-lover with a series of exquisitely-drawn dramatic monologues that illuminate the complex relationship with a fresh and probing focus." Tom Daley ............................ "Through thoughtful, well-phrased lines, we meet the star-crossed lovers and the struggle of their passion amidst the constraints of their circumstances. You do not have to be familiar with the story of their romance to enjoy these poems." Meredith Allard ............................... "The passionate love between the scholastic theologian and his brilliant student has inspired writers for over nine hundred years and is again reimagined by Ann Taylor in her new book of poems. She breathes new life into their tragic story, making it compelling reading for us in the 21st century." Barbara Dordi
