I would love someday to join you as a formalist narrative poet, and then eventually to move to Latin and perhaps Greek, when I am oler and greyer. As I am still trying to fiure out straight fiction, the verse will have to wait. In the meantime I am having a blast teaching such things to 6th graders. In our anthology, they have broken Fitzgerald's poetic translation of The Odyssey into "Episodes." I am not sure how that fits into the formal terminology, but episode does the trick when trying to distinguish between stanzas and action in uninterrupted verse.
