Yes, a very good sestina. He wrote several
fine ones, back before they became fashionable
for poetlings in workshops (who thought that
that little game was all there was to form).
I believe that Justice wrote the first sestina
in free verse (and I've told him he will have
a lot to answer for in the next world). I
will have some things to say about this marvelous
poet, il miglior fabbro; but a little later.
