"And all is dross that is not Helena," exclaimed Dr. Faustus upon seeing an apparition of Helen of Troy near the end of his life.

This volume of selected poems documents the blossoming romance between Luster and Marilyn— all its ups and downs, joys, heartbreaks, and, above all, the transcendence and beauty of true love. Luster was a gifted man, a truly Romantic poet with a keen eye for detail and a facility for language, and his love for Marilyn—shimmering through in every word, line and stanza—is a testament to his ability to concretize the abstract in terms we can understand and borrow and bring the extraordinary out of ordinary life.
Luster is a prime example that chivalry is not dead. It is alive and burning brightly within the pages of this volume. To quote Abraham Cowley, "The God of Love, if such a thing there be,/May learn to love from [Luster]." He is indeed chief professor of it.
