So I am completely new to poetry and I picked up Autobiography of Red by Anne Carson which is self described as "A Novel in Verse". Anyway it is more modern poetry I guess and so doesn't really rhyme or have an obvious rhythm, but it does have line breaks and sometimes in weird places like in the middle of a sentence/thought. So I guess my question is, should I just be reading it in my head just regular, or should I be putting mental beats in where the line breaks are. Like here is a random example I turned to: quote:They continued to sit. They were parked way out on the highway. So there is sentence breaks but also the line break which seems even more pronounced. It is very lovely writing so far I just want to know how I should approach it so I am getting the most out of like the presentation and arrangement I guess. Sorry if this is a totally dumb question y'all.
