If you are interested in constraints in writing, Douglas Hofstadter wrote a phenomenal book called "Le Ton Beau de Marot: In Praise of the Music of Language." Starting with Clement Marot's 28 line poem in French, he explores the constraints on poetic translation which leads to all sorts of examples of lipograms and everything else. A must read.
