"Principles of Growth" Sonnet Redoublé
Aug. 30th, 2008 10:28 amAll right, it's not the prequel you're all hoping for, but I'm willing to bet you'll be impressed anyway.
Why?
Because the sonnet redoublé is the most complicated sonnet sequence I've found. It comprises fifteen sonnets, the first fourteen forming a corona (i.e., the last line of each sonnet is the same as the first line of the next, and the last line of the last sonnet is the same as the first line of the first, completing the circle) and the last is formed from the fourteen linking lines, in order.
This one is a kaleidoscopic (i.e., fragmented and not presented in any sequential order) look at "Principles of Growth", with sonnets from House's, Wilson's, Chase's and Andromeda's perspectives.
( Here lies an abundance of iambic pentameter... )
