Mary Shelley subtitled her novel Frankenstein "The Modern Day Prometheus" in which she built her character part by part. Lewton Thomas Jones has written a poetry novel using the parts of his life that helped build his person. Blue Be the Night is a sojourn from philosophical ponderings on life to different styles of the poetic form with the later pages playing games with language reminiscent of James Joyce. This book uses language to embellish a diary of a life song ignited by poesy into the creation of Lewton Thomas Jones.
