Cast of Characters

A Cast of Characters is a compilation of poems based upon familiar literary characters. Written by a retired high school English teacher, this chapbook summarizes, analyzes, and relates these characters to modern times. The characters memorialized range from The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn to the nursery rhyme, "Henny Penny," from Eliot's "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock" to Wilder's Our Town.
