Ian Monk has been writing primarily in French since the late 1990s. His poetry collection 14 x 14, published in Belgium by L'Ane Qui Butine, consists of fourteen long poems, each composed of fourteen sonnets. Between each poem Monk includes an 'entracte', adding a prelude and a coda. Many of these shorter pieces are based on the sestina form, with its six permutating end-words, which Monk spins into dazzling new forms and combinations. These are the pieces gathered here, translated into English under the title Interludes.
