About this title

Synopsis

The poems in Rodin's Shadow peer into the lives of the great French sculptor s mistresses, dramatically giving voice to Camille Claudel, Gwen John and Rose Beuret, as well as Clara Westhoff, the neglected sculptress wife of Rilke who was Rodin s secretary. These are lives beset by passion, obsession and even madness, but also by devotion, as in the case with his long-term companion Rose Beuret, who Rodin finally married in the year they both died. "A real page turner." -- Tim Liardet
