An original poetic work that brings alive Chaucer’s great love story, illuminating the psychological drama at its heart.

Trade Review
"In an act of imaginative reconstruction, Greenlaw has filleted the original, lifting telling phrases and key narrative moments and making them her own. . . . [It is] shadowed by the mystery that is the mark of real poetry." -- The Guardian
"An admirable and moving addition to [the] new Chaucerian canon." -- Times Literary Supplement
"A Double Sorrow is a riveting formal achievement—a reimagining of a great narrative poem as a sequence of lyric moments: glints, surmises, fleeting apprehensions. In Pound’s great phrase, Lavinia Greenlaw has made it new, honoring our literary past while enlivening our future." -- James Longenbach
