A ’50s tale, seen from today, of two male poets in love with a demanding muse,
both willing to do whatever her Dionysian heart desires - three gleeful and wounded
hearts at play, sympathetic, ambiguous, engagingly human.
For some, the decade of the ’50s played out as an erotically turbulent era. So it was,
for noted poet Elton Gold, who looks back on a life-forming affair in the with intense,
queenly Gloria Zissic, a generative figure to him and to his British fellow-poet Andrew
Norton as well.
These three gradually find themselves experimenting with combinations and
cohabitations that their conservative university can't allow, as they grow in strength,
affection, and wit by insisting on being who they are: a literary-savvy folie-a-trois.
Their days together form lifetime patterns for each, their adventures in and out of
bed challenging timid norms in a work embellished by the poems of the smitten
poets and the formidable powers of Gloria, their muse.
