Comprised of 13 non-traditional double sestinas and largely determined by specific orthographies shared between a half-dozen of the most-used Latin-script-based languages, Modal Rose: Coda finds its form within the confines of a strictly visual commonplace, and in doing so, boils the English language down to its most prevalent cross-cultural imports and exports. These import/exports (these loanwords, these inter-lexical homographs found common to English, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, and Spanish), both fixed by stereotypical overuse and unmoored by their vast combinatorial potentials, reveal various nodes of fixation held by the Westernized multitudes, nodes that, when left to commingle, link and twist into a spindly, descriptive, and sanctioned Babel.
