Here' the complete stanza #75 for my translation of Sir Gawain and the Green Knight.

By the end, he's just a touch manic!

People may know about #Beowulf and #SirGawain and the #GreenKnight. If you ask about MODERN modern #alliterative epics, they'll probably draw a blank. But there are a lot more #alliterativeverse #epic poems out there are many more than most people realize! Here's a guide for the curious. (more)

Do you love J.R.R. Tolkien?
Did you enjoy the poetry of the Rohirrim?
There's lots more alliterative verse where it came from!

Check out the current issue of Forgotten Ground Regained: Alliterative Verse in Arda (Beowulf-style Tolkien fan poems).

Loved the way you've also used Old English alliterative verse to hit some of your Mongolian historical fiction themes, like your version of Wulf and Eadwacer. :)

The only translation of the Secret History that even tries to indicate its poetic features is the Penguin Classics one by Christopher Atwood. For me (to insert in novels) I cobbled together my own verse from several translations/transcription (bit of a process post here amgalant.com/english-imit...)

Carter Revard was Native American, from the Osage nation --and a scholar of Old English.

That gave him a unique perspective.

FYI for those who love Tolkien's poetry: the author page for JRR Tolkien has as complete an index as I can manage to all of his alliterative verse.

J.R.R. Tolkien: Alliterative Poet
J.R.R. Tolkien (1892-1973), a professor at Oxford University, pretty much single-handedly brought alliterative verse back into the general culture through his work.
