Responses to Stan's Questions About How to Include Other Poets' Poems


Titles: follow what the poet does in terms of capitalization; center or left margin is up to you; (Jeanne: don’t bold or underline or enclose the title in quotation marks or type in italics unless the poet does)

 
Epigraph: two font sizes smaller than title & body of poem: italicize text (no quotation marks); author’s name in plain text; some poets include source material

 
Single-space the body of a poem,

 
(Jeanne); leave five spaces between the title & body

 

Capitalize the first letter of each line?—do what the poet does.
