Guardian Bookshop Notes:

Trade paperback. In a series of poems that tell a story, John Fuller contemplates that age-old question of 'life versus art'.

Publisher's description:

Presents a sequence of poems that recounts the endless desire for love in a number of writers and musicians who fatally prioritise their art. This book talks about Petrarch, who created great lyric poetry out of an impossible infatuation, Coleridge's self-induced guilt within domestic happiness, Matthew Arnold's disbelief in mutual love, and more.
