Erasmus Cromwell-Smith II es escritor y profesor de Literatura Inglesa y Poesía. Este libro es la historia de su padre, en particular narra sobre una clase de poesía que impartió en el año 2017 en una prestigiosa universidad ubicada en Boston, en la región de Nueva Inglaterra. Durante esos años recibió múltiples solicitudes de quienes habían sido los estudiantes de su padre, donde le rogaban que contase la historia detallada de esa clase. Finalmente decidió hacerlo en honor al legado de su padre como maestro y escritor. Sin embargo, desde el principio, fue una tarea complicada ya que poco después de morir su padre, tristemente, todos sus archivos quedaron destruidos en un incendio y, aun cuando él escribió de forma intensa durante toda su vida, por razones que todavía no se entienden, nunca publicó ninguna de sus poesías. Fue un esfuerzo que valió la pena ya que Erasmus pudo reconstruir, para el disfrute de todos, el mundo poético de su padre.En realidad es un nuevo comienzo de la historia de amor de sus padres que continuó por 25 años más.
