ENTRY 15： My Refection on the Poetry Editing

I thought a piece of poem was very easy to publish until part of publication job fell to me. Working in the poem section, I think I leant a lot towards how to evaluate a poem. For the editing of the poem, there are three steps; substantive editing, copy editing and proof reading. For the substantive editing, the content and the substance of the poem count a lot. In this part of work, I learn that the rhythm and the choice of the words are also very important for a good poem to convey a sense of profession. Though, grammar is not emphasized a lot in the poem, but the break of the sentence assigned in different lines with different kinds of punctuation really works to deliver all kinds of different meanings. I realize that the poem is really a thing need to taste, to smell, to feel with all your senses to feel the beauty of poetry. For the work, though encounter a hard time as I have trouble working in the editing part, I would do my best.
