Question E. Jacqueline Woodson begins her book-length narrative poem Brown Girl Dreaming with "February 12, 1963."

Question H. Woodson could easily have told her narrative in prose as a novel or as a collection of short stories. What does poetry allow her to achieve that prose could not? Use quotations from at least two poems to explain.
