I sent this to Carrie, but I also thought I would send it to the list. 

Before I go to give away some of my children's poetry books like Dr. Seuss, I 
went to look at some, especially early additions.  I notice few to none are 
formatted as poetry (for visual readers) with lines preserved to show how they 
are composed.  I realize both styles help one group or the other, but unless we 
can preserve both paragraph and poetry format of poetry, it seems to me it 
should be presented as poetry in lines and stanzas.

Would this be a good use of BSO or not?  I know Nichole prefers reading poetry 
as lines, not paragraphs as do I, but am wondering what others think.  How 
annoying would the asterisk (star) be between stanzas for those who listen 
instead of reading Braille or text?

Thanks as always for your feedback!
Valerie
