Publisher's Synopsis
Of the myriad thousands of books published each year, here is one like no other. Reaching above and beyond the stars, an obscure and long-failed writer undertook the thoroughly mad venture of trying to compose poems and a play that suggest the work of William Shakespeare. The result is "Thoughts Ever Cast Upward, The Quest To Write Like Shakespeare," a work perhaps without precedent, consisting of twenty-five sonnets, eight scenes from a prospective romantic comedy, and a handful of poems, all composed in the unique Elizabethan idiom of the late sixteenth century. Did the author succeed in realizing his celestial vision, thus scaling Olympus and meeting Shakespeare on his own hallowed ground? The answer, captured within the otherwise unyielding silence of these pages, awaits the reader's liberation .
