Hmmm, I liked that very much! I like the sestina form a lot, but don't seek out new poets as much as, perhaps, I ought.
The title made me think of a book of poems I love -- looked for it for years, finally found it (out of print) -- Taleisin Through Logres, by Charles Williams. He was one of C.S. Lewis' Inklings. All Arthurian stuff, varying lengths and styles, most fairly formal. Some quite, quite lovely. Several poems are rather mathematical, which is what attracted me to it in the first place.
I will check out Marilyn Hacker. Married to Delaney, huh? Presumably years ago, before he came out?
