Joseph Saint-Amour (February 26, 1852 – March 16, 1962) was a supercentenarian from Quebec, Canada, which during his childhood was under British rule. He was only the second man to undisputedly reach 110, and the first to do so in the 20th century. He was the oldest person in the world from February 10, 1961, upon the death of James Henry Brett Jr., until his own death aged 110 years and 18 days. However, Brett's case has since been called into question, and so he may have held the record since the death of Christina Karnebeek (born October 2 1849 at Eibergen) on October 7, 1959.

From Greek sym (together) + poiein (to create), the sympoe is a poetic form which was first used by Joshua Gray, a contemporary American poet.
Two metrically linked stanzas of unlimited length rhyme A1bbccdd...A2A1 in the first verse and A2xxyyzz...A1A2 in the second, where A1 and A2 are full repeating lines and link to the other stanza.
Both stanzas must describe two distinct events but with similar qualities.
For an example, see "Loss" , where both stanzas are about an estranged family member of two separate families. In the first stanza the character is not the estranged; in the second it is.
Although a stanza can be of any length, the length of the entire poem is tricky. If it is too long, the poem may lose the coherence of the linking lines; if the stanza is too short, the poem risks a stanza that is abrupt and choppy. The conclusion of the poem can include one couplet (or three lines), but never in the narrative.
