Elizabeth Smart Synopsis: By Grand Central Station I Sat Down and Wept documents Elizabeth Smart’s relationship with poet George Barker. Immediately, upon picking up a book of his poetry while browsing through a London bookshop, Smart fell in love with the poet. They would soon begin an indulgent love affair during which she gave birth to four of his children. He, however, remained legally married to his wife. This tale of passionate but fanatical love is a modern reflection of the Romantic poets.
