Notes About The Poem

Modigliani (bio)

by Martin Gray

STRAND POETIC REVIEW SEPT 21

Modigliani by Martin Gray

A  biopic poem of an unconventional artist ,that fulfils Modigliani's motto 'know you are living' .with  iambic Trimeter, a line of three beats ..Iambic trimeter is a line of poetry made up of three iambic feet, creating a rhythm of six syllables that alternate between unstressed and stressed beats. [1], impromptu phrasing of a conversational style ,..devoid of figurative texture and symbolism

 Gray' s purpose is to leave all interpretation to
 the poetry prose style is Gray's USP
(unique selling point) in this bio poem ,divided
 into 152 stanzas ,(albeit without the usual notes 
and references ),all help to make this  an easy
 poetic bio read.
A worthy endeavour in Gray's typical usp approach
