Read Laylage Courie's poetic drama Intimate Things alongside classic pieces that inform the traditions among which it lives. Medieval, Renaissance, and Modernist writings weave a glittering firefly net-a ripe imaginative palate for Courie's meditation on the legendary romance of Heloise and Abelard.
Includes works by: Laylage Courie, Judith Madan, Gerard Manley Hopkins, William Shakespeare, Chidiock Tichborne, John Donne, Andrew Marvell, Alexander Pope, Wallace Stevens, Oscar Wilde, W.B. Yeats, and Aphra Behn.
*Each Lazuli Reading Series book pairs one contemporary work with carefully curated pieces of classic literature that enhance the flavor, texture, and emotional resonance of the feature work; the aim is to offer an alternative to the prevailing convention that non-fiction scholarly texts are the only worthy appendices to a work of poetry or fiction.
