And thanks to you, Jules, for posting this and also for the Kirkus interview. Jane has been a hero of mine for so many years. OMG, I’m deeply honored by Jane’s comments about my book. 7-Imp’s tech support (Blaine) fixed it! by jules by tanitaĬAPTCHA was totally broken yesterday. was, and how Mary soldiered on anyway, poor girl. I am REALLY glad that the author acknowledged what a pile of poo Percy B. Though I know I expressed some initial doubts about this project, the art and the poetry together make it really strong.

I saw some of it on Lita’s drawing table, and couldn’t wait to see if the whole was as good as the possible small bits I visited. It breaks boundaries, crosses borders, takes no prisoners.

While you make my chest beat / with a dead man’s heart.” “… Your child grows safe and warm, / listening to her mother’s pulse, “I keep writing / until my pen scratches pain / as loud as screams.īut it is no longer my own voice I hear. If it weren’t for the story / still growing in my mind.” “I try to block this dreadful image from my mind, “Shelley’s words / echo over and over in my thoughts. Someday we will all be drowned / in his pain.” “… I can’t stop the creeping sense / that no matter how much I love Shelley, It’s possible some of the text has changed in final publication.) (Please note: I’m quoting from a galley of the book. I’m following up today with art from the book. Last week at Kirkus, I talked here with author-illustrator Lita Judge about her newest book, Mary’s Monster: Love, Madness, and How Mary Shelley Created Frankenstein (Roaring Brook, January 2018). (Click image to enlarge and read poem in its entirety) I have become rock / and wind and fiery sea.” “… I am no longer a girl / weary with disappointment.
