Thanks, Ann, for responding to my earlier question "Why is it Poetry?," and a special thanks for providing examples. I'm sure additional replies & examples waiting in the wings, and they're welcome, as well.

It'll be great to be given some recent examples of a few of the "novels in poetry" written in actual blank verse, along with ways to distinguish between blank verse narratives and prose narratives with short lines and lots of white space.

In her comment earlier today, Angelica wrote, "Some of the 'poetry' is not very good and I don't see any reason for many of the stories to be told in blank verse..." As Angela implies, there are qualitative differences, too. Examples, anyone?

Peace, Ginny
