Cupid, the god of love and passion, is charged with killing Psyche, a mortal who will not love. But as Cupid attempts to seduce the mortal, he finds himself obsessed with the only human being who cannot fall beneath his will. Entwining the stories of various Greek gods (Cupid, Aphrodite, Persephone, Adonis), with Shakespearean-like mortals (drawing on Romeo and Juliet, Midsummer's, and Lear), CUPID AND PSYCHE reinvigorates classic tales with modern sensibilities, while continuing on the proud lineage of contemporary verse (Bartlett's 'Charles III', O'Hare's 'Queen Margaret').
