[Vwoolf] Fw: and so she hummed unfinished song

[Emily Kopley]

Hi stringsoflight and All,

Some of Isa's poetry was drafted with line breaks: see Appendix D of *Pointz
Hall*, ed. Mitchell Leaska. I discuss the difference between the lineated
and unlineated versions in the epilogue to *Virginia Woolf and Poetry*.

Best,
Emily
