[stylist] new writing assignment?

[Ashley Bramlett]

Eve,
Do you know braille? I suggest writing your poems out in braille on paper. 
That way you can read back yourself and see the line breaks for stanzas and 
punctuation. You're right the computer voice can never do poetry right. If I 
read poems with it, what I do is read through once straight through.
Then, I read stanza by stanza. The key to do this is the paragraph 
keystroke, control down arrow.
This still interrupts the
flow, but at least you can sort of see the poem structure then.

Ashley, I agree with your comment about poetry and screen readers. I
figured it was just that I am not as profficient a screen reader reader as
some. I dont know, it just does not flow. I notice this with my own poetry
as well and have a difficult time with it as I cannot enlarge it enough for
me to be able to read visually and I do not like the way the computer reads
it. That is one reason I do not generally share poetry or comment on
poetry. If anyone has suggestions around this I would appreciate it. I try
to get a human t read for me at times to better hear flow, but you need a
good reader for that also. Not all people know how to read poetry or verse.
Diolch, Eve
