Reading a book is like rewriting it for yourself. You bring to a novel,
anything you read, all your experience of the world. You bring your history
and you read it in your own terms. -Angela Carter, novelist and journalist
(1940-1992)

Subject: [bksvol-discuss] children's poetry/BSO?
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
