Marionette (Free Digital Download)
Single-fold leaflet, 105mm x 148mm, Limited to 49 signed and numbered copies. (Now sold out. Enjoy the free download!)
Marionette presents a short anagram-poem, followed by a Shakespearean sonnet in amphibrachic tetrameter. In addition to qualitative metre, the sonnet employs the principal rules of alliterative verse: The ‘beats’ of each amphibrach (the second of the foot’s three syllables) alliterate across the first three feet of each line, with the fourth foot freed from this alliteration (e.g., in line 1, ‘phan-’ alliterates with ‘fab-’ and ‘fell’). Moreover, cesurae occur between the second and third beats of each line.
