The rondeau is a 15-line fixed form in French lyric poetry that was popular during the 13th to 15th centuries and was often set to music like other received forms currently found in English, with regular rhyme schemes and repeated lines. The poem “Autoimmune Rondeau” draws on this history, creating a kind of healing music around the experience of autoimmune disease. The rhyme scheme and repeated line “It’s self on self” evoke the interplay between the disordered immune system and a patient’s own body. The references to mythological twins further deepen this comparison: Castor and Pollux, whose bond was famously strong and who battled alongside one another in the Trojan War, suggest periods when autoimmune disease abates, while Romulus and Remus, who fought over where to build Rome before Romulus killed his brother and then founded the great city, suggest autoimmune attacks so serious as to be fatal. Yet the speaker refuses to bow to pain and suffering: by choosing the rondeau form, with its soothing, musical beauty, we are reminded that although the songs and dances of its origins certainly addressed the mournful themes of unrequited love and separation from God in heaven, they ultimately celebrated life’s joys and pleasures. Thus the poem’s rhetorical question resonates: “Does [the] punishment match the crime?” Whether the speaker is allowing readers a moment of bemused irony or simply joining them in the human absurdity of fate, what is clearest is that even as we confront dire illness, poetry can still invite us to sing, dance, and even smile.
