Thanks for the suggestions. Just checked out some of Le Ton Beau de Marot, will most likely read the rest.
Actually, I was recently wondering whether poems can be interpreted as "efficient" computer programs. Words in a sentence/essay just connect different objects in space and time (syntactically and semantically) to form some concept, kind of like a program. A poem just uses higher order abstractions (imagery) to express the same concepts in fewer words.

So this book should be great!
