Book Description:
The double dactyl, a poetic form never intended for 'the serious or high minded', was invented in 1951. One of the form's rules is that the verse must contain a double dactyl name, such as 'Higgledy Piggledy'. This collection, the result of an obsession of the authors, substitutes the double dactyl rhyme with a Latin expression or tag, providing a witty poetic tour through Roman history. Beginning with Aeneas and ending with the last emperors, each brief poem is faced with an original drawing and accompanied by a short piece of text that sets the historical scene. Includes a glossary of Latin tags.
