Thaliarchus is the pen name of a British scholar of Middle English. His major poetic project is a mecha space opera/epic poem, Cosmic Warlord Kin-Bright, published on the gaming site, itch.io. It is primarily in blank verse, but characters from one of the cultures in conflict in his epic sometimes speak in alliterative verse [it forms their highest register]. He also posts occasional experiments in alliterative verse to his cohost site, including Finnsburh Reimagined, Homeward runs heart-path, Daringly, daffodils, A career on the rock tips, From a bus with a bow wave, and Roof-tiles under rain-cloud, among others.
He has published the following poems in Forgotten Ground Regained: A Quarterly Journal of Alliterative Verse):
- Christmas Walk (an experiment in alliterative metrics inspired by the rhythmic patterns of the Middle English bob-and-wheel), in Issue 1
- Farewell, in Issue 4
He also posts occasional pieces in alliterative verse on social media, including:
