Quick question Alex, Does the orientation contribute to the poem itself? I've written poems that do, but they were usually short enough that the orientation of the parts contrasted with other parts and added meaning. You said it had several versus and would extend to several pages...seems like a change of orientation over several pages would just be annoying to the user. If that is the case, it may be one of those occasions where a heart-to-heart with the author may be in order.

Cheers,

edit: 'annoying' meaning making the user jump through hoops to lock the orientation of their device so they could turn the device the correct way and read the poem from top to bottom - as they would have done if the poem was oriented normally in the first place...
