Alcaic Adventurer

- Ninety-nine Poems and Five Songs

Alcaic Adventurerav Martin Bidney
Om Alcaic Adventurer

As a songwriter, I think about music every day . . . As a poet, I value melody and rhythm and harmony. My adventure in this 2-month verse journal is to unearth an ancient treasure unknown to most poetry lovers, the Greco-Roman "alcaic" stanza form. There had been earlier rediscoveries of this appealing melodic achievement-in Britain, Germany, and Russia-but I don't know of any other poet writing alcaics today. Here you will find 99 new original poems in the old-time rhythm, plus 5 alcaic art songs I've composed, with the sheet music included. You can do all sorts of things in this adaptable stanza: create a memoir episode, a childhood awakening, a tribute to a mentor-friend, a nature sketch, a painting or musical work, a satire, a therapeutic sermonette, a hymn, a psalm. And I'm guessing you'll want to sing the "alcaic revival" music, too.
