David Beach's prose sonnets

David Beach calls his works "prose sonnets"... an example published in Trout 15. Other poems can be viewed via his NZETC page.

They appear to be, from a brief scan, rough and dirty iambic pentameter (with plenty of elisions, additional syllables, and substitutions). Perhaps too many variations to qualify strictly, but definitely an interesting read.

He has a couple of collections out - "Abandoned Novel" (2006) and "The End of Atlantic City" (2008).

I haven't read either of these, just a couple of individual poems here and there, so not offering an opinion. This is a placemarker - one to come back to later with greater attention.
