Vera Janacopoulos

Showpiece

Jan Engelman

In Jan Engelman’s poem Vera Janacopoulos the sound of the words is almost as important as their meaning. A striking element is the particularly successful use of alliteration in consecutive lines: “zoete, zoele… / zeeschuim’, ‘muze, morgenlicht… / minnares”.
