Meter with Mani began with a single graduate student's desire to discover the mysteries of iambic pentameter. A Ph.D. candidate in American Studies at Harvard, Imani Davis searched the world of poetic meter far and wide for an easier way to track metrical feet like the iamb on the page, both for the casual poetry reader and the avid scholar. And in a world where literary study is under the constant threat of AI, analog study tools have never been more crucial. Why not design a reference stamp that can sit in the margins and help out? Thus, Meter with Mani was born!
