An anthology of double dactyls. Because of the form, the poems inevitably sound silly (they usually begin with "higgledy-piggledy"), but understanding most of them requires far more cultural literacy (recurring characters are Ludwig van Beethoven and Thomas Stearns Eliot, but Arthur M. Schlesinger, Archangel Raphael, Marcus Aurelius, Moses Maimonides, and Titus Andronicus also put in an appearance) than that with which I am currently equipped.
