Description
A collection of lyrical and terrifying poems written entirely in iambic meter.
IAMBIC pulses with the ancient rhythm of English verse-each beat a step deeper into the uncanny. This debut collection blurs the line between lyrical beauty and creeping horror. With hypnotic language and a cinematic eye, Marco Di Chio leads readers through ghostly forests, shifting mirrors, abandoned houses, and haunting memories. The poems speak of longing, death, memory, and madness-often in the same breath.
Drawing inspiration from English literary tradition, IAMBIC honours the meter of Shakespeare and Milton while crafting something entirely new. This is not just poetry to be read-this is poetry to be heard, to be felt, to be feared. Once entered, it doesn't let you go.
About the Author
Marco Di Chio writes verse to still the noise. Born and shaped by the music of Verona, he now lives in Glasgow, where rhythm and silence intertwine. IAMBIC reflects a lifelong fascination with the musicality of language and the shadows that cling to memory, love, and identity. With poems walking the line between lyricism and horror, his work draws on traditions of English meter while speaking with a distinctly modern and personal voice. This is his debut collection.
