| Does it matter whether one writes villanelles, rondels, sestinas or kyrielles? |
|
| There were ballades, chants royal, kyrielles, sestinas, triolets, villanelles, and virelais to play with, and poets of varying merit had a go. |
|
| The book abounds with sonnets, villanelles, a pantoum, sonatinas and what in my opinion is the most difficult of forms, sestinas. |
|
| Concealed inside its villanelles, ghazals, canzones, sonnets, and prose poems are that country's unheard voices. |
|

|
| I wanted to write a million words, a thousand sonnets to her eyes, a hundred villanelles to her lips. |

|
| The book is divided into forms that include sestinas, villanelles, sonnets and pantoums. |
|
| Sonnets in prose, villanelles with recurring lines, sestinas with modified verse count, English mad songs, and even free-verse poems create carefully controlled imbalances. |
|
| Moreover, like pantoums, villanelles are highly repetitious. |
