NOTE: The redundant is one of the more demanding and orgasmic contemporary American fixed forms, first appearing in the spoken word poetry of Seattle in the twenty first century. It is a poem of seventeen identical lines composed of the same two words. The eighteenth line must also be composed of two and only two words, neither of which can be used in the first seventeen lines.
