When including a block quotation of poetry, do these things:
A) Start a new line
B) Enclose in quotation marks
C) Indent the whole quotation
D) Write the parenthetical citation at the end of the quotation
E) Use slashes between lines
Blockquotes are used for passages longer than 4 lines, to be set apart from the original text. So, when you not only start a fresh line and indent the new paragraph, the writing will stand out more.
