Renowned poet and critic Clive James presents the crowning achievement of his career: a monumental translation into English verse of Dante’s The Divine Comedy. The Divine Comedy is the precursor of modern literature, and this translation - decades in the making - gives us the entire epic as a single, coherent and compulsively listenable lyric poem.

It depicts love when it's all sunshine and rainbows, as well as when it has gone down a rabbit hole with no light in sight, just darkness. Just like chiaroscuro is used to describe paintings, Kaleidoscope does the same about love. Not everyone's experience of love equates quite the same.
