Kevin Andrew Murphy has a wonderful sestina (not an oxymoron in this case) on the First Things websits. You can hit this link and scroll down to find it.

Good sestina, I'll admit.
And, damn it, seeing the texts of First Things reminds me what a good magazine it is.

I remember that Kevin workshopped this one here on Erato.

I remember it well. Gorgeous poem, Kevin.
You know, if someone passed a law saying all poems had to be written in trochaic tetrameter, I think I'd be okay with that.

Thanks, all, and especially Jody for picking it up and reprinting it.
There should be another reprint sometime in Idunna.
I can hardly believe that this was my first stab at both a sestina and old Norse flowing meter.
