The document discusses how line breaks and stanza breaks can influence the reading of poetry. It provides William Carlos Williams' poem "This Is Just to Say" as an example, showing the poem with no line breaks, line breaks only, and line and stanza breaks. Breaking the poem into lines and stanzas creates pauses that change the flow and pacing of the reading. The placement of line and stanza breaks can emphasize different words or ideas depending on where the breaks occur.
