a poem from paper to screen without either breaking a line up--a primal violation of the art form--or making the font size too small to read. It's unlikely that publishers can design a perfect solution, but they have managed to find acceptable compromises. In part, they credit advances in technology that make it easier to keep the original look intact. They also cite a technique long used in print.The hanging indent.
The poet's worst fear is for a line to break up randomly, ruining the rhythm and mood of the verse.
