The line length in this book reminded me of 
Both are of grief due to parental loss. One is prose and the other is poetry but the length of thought is similar.
I shuddered from reading the prose, as it is full sentences that can hold you caged.
In Morrison's poetry, the thought is contained in the line instead of extending into the next lines but an abstractness protects the reader.
How brave and trusting are the poets who leave a word of a sentence as an overhang into the next line.
