Answer to Question 1


  • The playful ingenuity of the sestina, like that of the villanelle, tempts a poet to wax clever; yet Bishop is writing a deeply felt, moving poem in it. The tone is lightly serious, compassionateyet with touches of gentle humor: the Little Marvel Stove, the childs drawings. Irony, too, informs the poem: a contrast between the grandmothers sorrow and the childs innocent ignorance.



Answer to Question 2


  • The little moons are probably small round pieces of paper. Almanacs (such as The Old Farmers) come with punched holes to make them easy to string and hang on a hook or a nail.
