Join Abdiel's Readers List at poetprophet.com/contact and be the first to know next time he is offering FREE books.Abdiel LeRoy is an Anglo-American author and actor whose life is largely inspired by the Bible, Shakespeare, mythology, and the great epic poem, 'Paradise Lost'. He has memorized thousands of lines of poetry and can come up with an instant quote to suit every situation!Abdiel is also an exemplar of epic poetry, a rare gift in this day and age, or in ANY day and age! His signature work, 'Elijah', reimagines the great Old-Testament prophet's ministry and miracles; while 'Obama's Dream' takes the former president on a night-time journey of transformation, thus exposing the destructive traits of empire handed over to Donald Trump!Political theatre is also seen through the lens of poetry in 'Verses Versus Empire', Abdiel's three-volume series covering in turn the Bush, Obama, and Trump eras. His collections also include 'Well Versed: To Shakespeare, Poets, and the Performing Arts', which features poems voiced by famed British actors in BBC broadcasts, among them Kenneth Branagh, Judi Dench, and Mark Rylance.But Abdiel's own skills as voice actor and narrator make for especially dramatic readings. You can hear excerpts from all his books at poetprophet.com.In the non-fiction department, Abdiel brings 'Dueling the Dragon: Adventures in Chinese Media and Education', his memoir of triumph and trial crafted over 10 years of living and working in China. And 'The Gourmet Gospel: A Spiritual Path to Guilt-Free Eating' had an even longer gestation period of decades!Finally, in fiction, Abdiel has published 'The Christmas Tree', a children's tale imagining the journey of a beloved tree from forest to market to home to sidewalk, until grace intervenes!As an actor, Abdiel has embodied most of the major Shakespearean roles, and on stages from New York to London to Beijing, though perhaps his most famous appearance is in the hit short film series, 'The Expert'. He also has three one-man shows: the famous children's tale, 'Wind in the Willows'; and two works of the great poet, W.H. Auden, 'The Sea and the Mirror', and 'The Massacre of the Innocents'.Abdiel has also worked in the past as broadcaster, financial analyst, and market commentator. His passions include Argentine Tango, Yoga, and competitive Swimming.Author website: poetprophet.com

  • ELIJAH — Sample 13

    07/01/2020 Duración: 02min

    Israel. 9th-century BC. Jezebel has killed the true prophets of the Lord, and Elijah must flee her wrath. But he is not alone. Embraced by a shapeshifting goddess, counseled by a great angel, he is empowered to call down fire from Heaven! In the spirit of Dante, Shakespeare, and Homer, this 12-part epic poem relives the stunning miracles of the great prophet as described in the Old Testament—fed by ravens, raising the dead, commanding the rain, calling down fire from Heaven, outrunning horses, ascending to Heaven. But along with all this, the author weaves a rich thread of mythological influences—shapeshifting goddesses, shamanic journeys, dueling dragons, Queen Jezebel's seductions, and dissension in the ranks of the royal bodyguard. Saucy yet sacred, and now joined by the author's own audiobook narration, this timeless tale takes wing in the poet's pen, the poet's voice! "An epic tale, Biblically based, but with considerable writer’s freedom that makes the book wholly entertaining." San Francisco
