From: Perry Mason—The Case of the 24th Sestina
http://wp.me/p14mpp-do
The 24 poems (all are sestinas) of this volume are witty and cleverly written; clearly, meant to be read aloud and enjoyed. Some of them are courtroom drama; others show the Perry Mason characters offstage, interacting with one another. These latter poems can be sexy, erotic, sometime shocking, but always in good humor—I enjoyed the reading.
