Donjong Heights Russian Sonnet Challenge

~jack-cade:iconjack-cade: reports, November 28, 2007
Ben Borak's Donjong Heights is the latest book from Norwich's eggbox publishing. A novel-in-verse, it was given it a four star review by Toby Litt in Timeout and the first print run has already sold out, which is a cause for some celebration. So, since Dongjong Heights is written in Russian sonnets, or 'Onegin' stanzas, after Pushkin's similarly structured Eugene Onegin, I'm inviting everyone to try out the form for themselves, and I'll be publishing my favourites in the next edition of the roundtable review.

Here are the rules of the form:

14 lines, iambic tetrameter (one shorter than a Shakespearian sonnet).

The rhyme scheme is as follows, and note that whether the letters are in upper or lower case is of importance - upper case denotes where the rhyme should be masculine (stressed on the final syllable), lower where it should be feminine (stressed on the penultimate syllable):

aBaBccDDeFFeGG

Here's an example from Vladimir Nabokov, it being the first stanza of his poem 'On Translating 'Eugene Onegin':


What is translation? On a platter
A poet's pale and glaring head,
A parrot's screech, a monkey's chatter,
And profanation of the dead.
The parasites you were so hard on
Are pardoned if I have your pardon,
O, Pushkin, for my stratagem:
I traveled down your secret stem,
And reached the root, and fed upon it;
Then, in a language newly learned,
I grew another stalk and turned
Your stanza patterned on a sonnet,
Into my honest roadside prose--
All thorn, but cousin to your rose.


I will allow for some variation in the rules, as Borak himself does. Follow this link to read a sample of the book.

To enter, simply post your Russian sonnet as a deviation and note me with the link. No prizes except publication in an online magazine, but I'm not setting a limit on how many I print, so if it's good, it's in!

HAVE AT IT! Sonnets hate me.

But that's okay, I hate them back.

I shall enjoy smacking one around for this. :)

I had two gos a while ago and somehow messed both up. First time, I forgot that it was tetrameter, not pentameter, and second time, I got confused over the 'feminine rhyme' and only rhymed the unstressed syllable at the end, so I happily rhymed 'magic' with 'head back'. Still a sort of half-rhyme, I guess.

I already have a couple of ideas for this. Thanks for the impetus to write more metered stuff and ----hooray--- in my favourite metre. I'm such a tet-junky. IP just eludes me, for the most part.

I'd intended to submit more stuff to Fuselit anyhow. I was gonna ask what the current guidelines are -- but that's sheer laziness, I'll check the site. :)

One thing about the site is that it badly needs updating - the issue we currently want subs for is 'Fox'. I *think* most everything else still stands.
