With his unique voice, James combines traditional forms with fresh perspectives, creating a work that is both engaging and enduring.

From the opening lines of "Angels Over Elsinore," it is clear that this collection is something special: "How many angels knew who Hamlet was/When they were summoned by Horatio?"
