Note to Reader of the eBook Edition
Poetry is made of lines, and therefore it is important that the calibration of the size of the page and font adhere to a size that allows Raymond Carver’s original line breaks to appear for the reader.
Raymond Carver was especially particular about his line breaks, so the closest reading experience to his intentions for his poems will be had by adjusting the font-size setting on your e-reader until the line below fits on your screen.
Do me a favor this morning. Draw the curtain and come back to bed.
