"The Giver of Stars" is excerpted from a larger theatrical work entitled Amy Lowell: A Rare Pattern. Lowells’s life as a poet and how it was woven into her life with the actress, Ada Dwyer Russell, fascinated me. Lowell’s stern exterior is counterpoint to a tender-heartedness and vulnerability which she shared with her beloved Ada. This cycle represents the arc of their love and life together.
