Summary

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.
Available since: 09/04/2025.
Print length: 628 pages.

    Henrik Ibsen's The Master Builder, first published in 1892, is about architect Halvard Solness, who despite personal tragedy (including the death of his two sons) has risen to the top of his profession. He has succeeded partly through ruthless competition and exploitation and partly through a seeming ability to force his will on others. His unhappy wife Aline mourns for their lost life, and resents his interest in various young women, including his bookkeeper Kaia Fosli. Solness disregards the ambitions of other architects, including Knut Brovik and his son Ragnar, and seeks solace in the advice of family physician and friend Dr. Herdal. With the entrance of Hilda Wangel, a young woman whom he met as a child ten years ago, his life acquires a new focal point, one that will mean the end of him.

    Richard Dreyfuss and Stacy Keach star in this full-cast performance of Arthur Miller’s classic The Crucible, a central work in the canon of American drama.  
 
In the rigid theocracy of Salem, Massachusetts, rumors that women are practicing witchcraft galvanize the town. In a searing portrait of a community engulfed by panic - with ruthless prosecutors, and neighbors eager to testify against neighbor - The Crucible famously mirrors the anti-Communist hysteria that held the United States in its grip in the 1950’s. A Tony Award Winner for Best Play.
