      The thing about the reject is that sestinas are governed by the #6 (six). I think it's a fascinating structure.

Traditional forms (think of the sonnet) are highly numerical, as is concrete poetry, hyper-numerical actually.

The New Object poem is likely to be three-dimensional and is often composed of randomly found, inexpensive materials. Various art, literature and music movements grounded in Neo-Concretism have had a powerful influence on recent developments in this postavant genre. Members of Fluxus exchanged Object Poems via their mail art network. Most New Object poems are shared in an environment of digital poetics. "In the milieu of New Object Poetry, there is no mediating poetic text. Simply   stated: The object IS the poem. Text might or might not be used." In the milieu of New Object Poetry, the
