Dear Reader,
Wesleyan University Press suggests that you to calibrate your device’s settings by using the line of characters below, which optimizes line length and character size:
Where did you come from? my mother says when I’m in.
Please take the time to adjust the size of the text on your device so that the line of characters above appears on one line, if possible. When this text appears on one line on your device, the resulting settings will most accurately reproduce the layout of the text and the line length intended by the author.
Viewing the title at a larger than optimal text size or on a device too small to accommodate the lines in the text can cause the poems to be altered; single lines of some poems will be displayed as multiple lines of text. If this occurs, the turn of the line will be marked with a shallow indent.
Thank you and we hope you enjoy this poetry!
