Sinopse

Join Abdiel's Readers List at poetprophet.com/contact and be the first to know next time he is offering FREE books.Abdiel LeRoy is an Anglo-American author and actor whose life is largely inspired by the Bible, Shakespeare, mythology, and the great epic poem, 'Paradise Lost'. He has memorized thousands of lines of poetry and can come up with an instant quote to suit every situation!Abdiel is also an exemplar of epic poetry, a rare gift in this day and age, or in ANY day and age! His signature work, 'Elijah', reimagines the great Old-Testament prophet's ministry and miracles; while 'Obama's Dream' takes the former president on a night-time journey of transformation, thus exposing the destructive traits of empire handed over to Donald Trump!Political theatre is also seen through the lens of poetry in 'Verses Versus Empire', Abdiel's three-volume series covering in turn the Bush, Obama, and Trump eras. His collections also include 'Well Versed: To Shakespeare, Poets, and the Performing Arts', which features poems voiced by famed British actors in BBC broadcasts, among them Kenneth Branagh, Judi Dench, and Mark Rylance.But Abdiel's own skills as voice actor and narrator make for especially dramatic readings. You can hear excerpts from all his books at poetprophet.com.In the non-fiction department, Abdiel brings 'Dueling the Dragon: Adventures in Chinese Media and Education', his memoir of triumph and trial crafted over 10 years of living and working in China. And 'The Gourmet Gospel: A Spiritual Path to Guilt-Free Eating' had an even longer gestation period of decades!Finally, in fiction, Abdiel has published 'The Christmas Tree', a children's tale imagining the journey of a beloved tree from forest to market to home to sidewalk, until grace intervenes!As an actor, Abdiel has embodied most of the major Shakespearean roles, and on stages from New York to London to Beijing, though perhaps his most famous appearance is in the hit short film series, 'The Expert'. He also has three one-man shows: the famous children's tale, 'Wind in the Willows'; and two works of the great poet, W.H. Auden, 'The Sea and the Mirror', and 'The Massacre of the Innocents'.Abdiel has also worked in the past as broadcaster, financial analyst, and market commentator. His passions include Argentine Tango, Yoga, and competitive Swimming.Author website: poetprophet.com

I'm loving the podcast, Natalie Haynes Stands up for the Classics. The most recent episode is on Eurydice whom Orpheus lost when bringing her up from the Underworld, because he turned back and looked at the last second. I then read the poems on Eurydice by Carol Ann Duffy and H.B. Then came up with a poem of my own, identifying with Orpheus' regret. Maybe he just didn't want Eurydice enough? Then he'd have the excuse, "Well at least I tried."
