I never studied a Shakesperian sonnet until Year Eleven at school, during GCSEs. Even then all we got taught was that it had fourteen lines and something to do with a rhyming couplet. As for a sestina? Never heard of.

Well I suppose it's something of an improvement on that git Clark arguing that medieval history isn't important. Somehow though I don't see Labour as likely champions of a poetry renaissance.
