Into the world of dragons and monsters, knights and kings, nature and the super natural. These were boyhood dreams and realities. When Lawrence was little, my ex-husband brought home J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Hobbit—his favorite when he was a child—and gifted his son with his first fantasy novel.
Lawrence went on to explore that world in video games, a different medium with keyboard and fast thumbs. The fantasy characters have grown to include the Orient and aliens from space.
Only now have I crossed the ocean, from The Monkey King (my childhood’s favorite) to Sir Gawain and the Green Knight. The medium has also changed, from prose to poetry.
