Frederick Glaysher

FREDERICK GLAYSHER is an epic poet, rhapsode, poet-critic, and the author or editor of ten books.

“Gazing from the moon, we see one Earth, without borders, Mother Earth, her embrace encircling one people, humankind.”

Apollo, the Greek god of poetry, calls all the poets of nations, ancient and modern, East and West, to assemble on the moon to consult on Mother Earth. The Parliament of Poets sends the main character, the Poet of the Moon, on a Journey to the seven continents to learn from all of the spiritual and wisdom traditions of humankind. On Earth and on the moon, the poets teach a universal celebration of life. Book 9,150 lines; theatre 1,700 lines, 100 minutes. 

Thirty years in the making, set partly at the Apollo 11 landing site, the Sea of Tranquility, Glaysher revives, through an experimental dramatic performance style, the chanting and storytelling of the ancient Greek rhapsodes.
