A friend just messaged to say my poem ‘mid-air’ may have sparked a conversation about line-breaks in free verse and whether they’re deliberate/ important? I welcome this because I’m a line-break geek,I could bore a stranger at a bus-stop for hours :) Here’s my very subjective 🧵 There isn’t one answer as as line-break can have multiple functions. When I write a first draft it’s totally shapeless, no line-breaks just a big block of untamed spirit (forgive the lofty word.) And then I think to myself, okay, what kind of body/form should this spirit inhabit?
