I have been listening to ‘Man In The Iron Mask’ by Alexandre Dumas. There is a scene where four or five poets argued about what words rhyme and don’t rhyme. What types of rhymes are acceptable in contemporary French poetry.
I’ll tell you what, I caught a fit of the giggles.
As some of you may already know, Burning Embers is publishing a Dystopian Anthology later this year. As a natural consequence, I have been engaged in very similar discussions. Rather than talking about cadences and rhyme schemes, I have been talking about constitutes a dystopian story.
I suppose not much has changed over the 150 years or so when Man In the Iron Mask was published. When authors & poets congregate, we did, we do, and we will talk about literature.
