Solve Alexander Dickow's "Riddle Sonnet"

From Adam Biles at Gulper Eel, http://gulpereel.net/frontpage/?p=1429:
Alexander Dickow's "Riddle Sonnet."

Alexander has composed a sonnet with a difference for Gulper Eel. What we
want you to tell us is – what’s the gimmick? The most detailed answer received
before the end of the month will win a signed copy of Caramboles, Alexander’s much
lauded bilingual poetry collection. All answers to [email protected]

The solution and the name of the winner will be published on the 1st of
November. Alexander will be the judge, and his decision is final. Enjoy.
