by William Heyen
American Poets Continuum Series
In Diana, Charles, & the Queen, William Heyen captures
the successes and shortcomings of the royals and allows us
to see, through his poetic vision, the
humanity of each character: the young Elizabeth contemplating love while crying
into a cloth woven by Gandhi, a gallant Charles courts a wide-eyed Diana with
anecdotes of his travels, and gradually, we see the marriage of Diana and Charles
crumbling in its later years.
Completed before
Diana's death, this book is a multi-leveled literary work, stunning
in its depth, and far removed from what has previously been offered
the reading public on the subject of the royal family.
Childhood
At
Windsor, this artifact: the bullet
from
Lord Nelson's heart; &this: the shirt
worn
by Charles I when executed—
still
stained black with his blood;
&
these: the prayer book of Sir Thomas More;
from
Joan of Arc, one charred molar;
the
Green Knight's sword & breastplate;
Grendel's
evil eye solidified to agate. . .
