Over de auteur Jael Hanssen Jael Hanssen adores older verse styles, such as the style that this poem is written in, and enjoys to make somewhat of an effort to bring them back to the contemporary reader. Blank verse to him conveys all sorts of emotions and meanings, and utilising that power himself gave him the opportunity to set a satisfying scene and stage for the ancient story of Perseus and Andromeda, and to deliver its message and moral to the modern world. Many thoughts and considerations in this epic poem revolve around both the compelling voice of love, and the menace of remorseless fate.
