How would you describe Disch’s invented form?
What will be an ideal response?
- As should be obvious, Disch’s poem proceeds through the alphabet in reverse order, from Z to A—hence the play on abecedary, with the title formed from the last three letters of the alphabet. By reversing the order, he changes the emphasis from a progress to a countdown, a countdown to the inevitable end. The Seuss-like rhythms and the riming couplets give the poem an air of Grand Guignol or black comedy.
