Lipograms and other constraints:

Higgy hasn’t been putting much up at his page lately, and I hadn’t noticed this piece sooner. Seizing on my delight at the Atlantic

piece on OuLiPian language antics, he gifts us with a pointer to a 1997 Wordways piece by Ross Eckler

which asks, is it is possible to “characterize in an objective way the relative difficulty of different sorts of constraint? Which ones should be cultivated more widely?” Thanks, higgy!
