Wag's Revue is offering up a "Syllable Sestina Challenge" based on an exercise from the Oulipo listserv, in which a sestina is composed with only six syllables. Poetry editor Will Guzzardi admits it may be easier to complete the challenge in French than English, but it doesn't stop him from giving it a try with "The Masturbating Sign."

Submit your sestina before March 1, 2010 and you may be published in a showcase on Wag's Revue with other sestinaistas!
