my thoughts on free verse

http://blogs.setonhill.edu/AngelicaGuzzo/2008/04/free_verse_is_great.html

Well, that's that I suppose. Nothin' quite like climbing a volcano and stickin' yer head over the side sayin', "Martha? You think this 'un still wurks?"

Shakespeare sure knew how to write, but apparently he didn’t know how to count (at least if you go buy his line numbers).
“Editors also indent blank verse lines that are shared between two or more speakers and number them as one line, to show that the dialogue reflects a close meeting of the characters’ minds” (Hamilton 238).

"Free verse (from the French "vers libre"), also called open form verse, is distinguished from traditional versification in that its rhythms are not organized into the regularity of meter; most free verse also lacks rhyme. The term should not be confused with blank verse, unrhymed iambic pentameter. What distinguished free verse from prose? One of its main features is its deliberate division of the lines, which may consist of very long units or of single words, and which may be divided in mid-sentence or even mid-word." (Hamilton 239)

Are you unsure of what you want to do as a career? Do you need guidance when it comes to internships? Are you wondering what you CAN do with some branch of an English Degree and then how to incorporate it into another major of study? If so, check out the below. English Club is hosting a VERY VERY VERY beneficial event on what we as English Majors (or creative minors, journalism, communication, etc.) can achieve with our sought out degrees!

"The reason for a shared line may be that the speakers are highly compatible, as in this exchange between Romeo and Juliet about plans for their secret wedding"

"To aid modern readers in seeing such contrasts, editors space prose passages as in novels: they extend the lines all the way to the right margins and capitalize words only at the beginning of sentences, not of lines..."

"The initial models for free verse poems were the psalms and the Song of Solomon in the King James Version of the Bible. While reproducing the Song of Solomon in English, the translators attempted to imitate the cadences of the original Hebrew..."
