Description

Using a series of dramatic monologues and verse letters, Robert Cooperman explores the public and private personae (""the truth beyond facts/that merely clutter"") of the poet and political thinker Percy Bysshe Shelley.

In poems rich with period detail and psychological insight, Cooperman reveals Shelley as a man torn by the desire for greatness, the desire for love, and the desire to be free.

He portrays the private Shelley, driven to find a soul-mate and to espouse the idea of free love in a mercantile society, yet an idealist who never quite realised that his actions could have disastrous consequences for those he loved.
