Thomas Chatterton -- a seventeen year-old boy -- tears out one of his ribs and creates a second self. A self who will live in an earlier century. A self who will write antique poems. A self who will safely live in the chest of the youthful boy. But the poems are so exquisite -- the poems so cry out for life -- that the boy decides to show them to the world.  Readings Youtube @johnpassfield6738 www.johnpassfield.ca
