Gregory Thornton

Very little biographical information about Gregory Thornton is readily confirmed in reliable public sources. He is known for Sonnets of Shakespeare's Ghost, a poetry collection now available through Project Gutenberg.

That book presents a series of sonnets written in conversation with the figure of Shakespeare, drawing on themes of love, beauty, art, and devotion. Because so little verified personal history survives online, Thornton is best approached through the work itself: a compact, literary project that reflects both affection for Shakespeare and a desire to answer him in verse.
