“Edward de Vere gives me hope. And in these trying and uncertain times, humanity’s best path forward is the one in which we’re able to draw inspiration from the greatest poet who ever lived. Just as the Founding Fathers modeled themselves after heroic examples from Plutarch’s Lives, perhaps we might navigate the unique challenges of the 21st century by harnessing our own creativity, compassion, and genius – qualities that no one has ever embodied more fully than Edward de Vere.” – Phoebe Nir
