Now, if you're both right, and it seems right to me, does that mean I should have a sighted person check poetry submissions?

Hi Gary,Generally, when the width of the page is the line-length limiting factor, the text on the next line is indented. This gets sticky when the poet indents lines for asthetic reasons as well. Sorry I can't give you an answer that will always be true.Mayrie At 11:31 PM 5/20/2008, you wrote:I have a somewhat related question about poetry. When doing a poetry book, how does one know when lines break because the poet wants it or when they break because a page is only so wide?----- Original Message ----- From: <james.homme@xxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Tuesday, May 20, 2008 9:55 AM Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Formatting PoetryHi, I know this has been brought up here before, and I forget what the answer was, so please forgive me. I downloaded some Robert Frost poetry to read and found that there was no break at all between stanzas, so knowing that formatting would be a chore at best, I have steered away from validatingpoetry books. What does the stripper mess up about poetry and is there anyway I can help it avoid doing that? Thanks.
