Shelley 200, un poema narrativo di Jan Noble

A new poetic monologue written and performed by Jan Noble celebrating the life and work of Percy Bysshe Shelley.

Giving voice to the bronze bust erected to the English Romantic poet whose body washed up on the shoreline of Viareggio, this work seeks to reconcile the poet with those he left behind and justify his place in the modern age. Visited first by Mary Shelley and then by his first wife Harriet the author challenges the silent statue to account for his actions provoking a poetic odyssey that tells of Shelley's ten days twisting in the waves, his stormy going out, his short blown course and slow return to shore.
