What Book!?

The following is from editor Gary Gach's "Pre Face" to his anthology of Buddhist poetry, What Book!?:

Poetry may seem to be only prose cut into short lines
-- but the end of each line lets us breathe, be attentive --
as if we could get up, walk around the block, and come back, to continue the next line
renewed, without missing a stitch --
or spend five minutes on a single line, if need be.

[slightly edited]

Yeah.
