Renga article article published in Nature
Below is the full-text link to the "renga" article Dr. Djerassi
mentioned in his presentation "Beyond Chemistry, The Last 25 Years
of a Nonagenarian." (This article was a linked poem created by
students taking a biomedical ethics class he taught at Stanford.)
I'm also including a link to the Academy of American Poets website
that has a definition for renga.

Poetic Form: Renga
"Renga, meaning "linked poem," began over seven hundred years ago in
Japan to encourage the collaborative composition of poems. Poets
worked in pairs or small groups, taking turns composing the
alternating three-line and two-line stanzas. Linked together, renga
were often hundreds of lines long, though the favored length was a
36-line form called a kasen. Several centuries after its inception,
the opening stanza of renga gave rise to the much shorter haiku."
