problem solved

Craig Morgan Teicher's report on the problem of publishing poetry for ebooks:

 My response to Teicher's piece (PW won't accept my google account to allow me to comment directly there) 

is:

what problem?  

Most verse written in the AngloAmerican tradition should fit quite easily on such escreens, especially the ones that can be turned sideways, no?

And if there is a problem with some contemporary texts,

the answer to that problem for those authors, is simple: 

Stop with those prosey long lines—

write poetry instead: you know, decasyllabics, blank verse, etc . . . 

any line longer than the hendecasyllabic is already in danger of being contaminated by prose,

or indeed may be a form of prose.
