What is "enjambment"?
Enjambment is a poetic technique where a line of verse continues into the next line without a pause or punctuation at the end. This creates a sense of flow and movement, encouraging the reader to proceed to the next line for the completion of a thought or idea. Enjambment can enhance the rhythm and pace of a poem, adding tension or surprise as the meaning unfolds. By breaking lines in this way, poets can create a dynamic reading experience, allowing for greater emotional depth and complexity in their work.
