Just a side note, this site does not seem to work well in my copy of Firefox. The pop up windows are small and remain small after clicking expand. They are so small that it's even hard to scroll through the poems, and they also close when I move the move away.

Could you expand further? Firefox version, platform, screensize, console log of warnings/errors, screenshots? I assume you are referring to the collapsible toggleable sections and not the 'popups' (which is what we call the things that pop up when you mouse over a link, but that doesn't make sense since that wouldn't affect reading the poems - none of the popups involve the poems in any way). Although if you are referring to the popups, closing when you move the mouse away is very much by design; it doesn't make sense to leave them open when the user moves away and is done with them. I use Firefox all the time, and things seem to work fine and we aren't doing anything non-FF supported I know of, so it should be working for you...

  The sections on the left hand side pop up when you move with the mouse over them - meaning, a window with the poems and explanation opens. When I move the mouse over those windows and click the triangle (Expand) for the actual poem, it makes the box containing the poem only about 1/2 a line larger, making it basically impossible to read it. When I move the mouse out of the pop up window, it disappears. I didn't realize yesterday that you can also click the sections to open them normally. When I do that, the poems expand just fine and everything works. It's the pop ups that confused me, because I thought they are the way you intend users to navigate the page. Firefox version 69.0.3 (64-bit) on Linux with uBlock Origin 1.23. Screen size 2560x1440, Firefox window expanded maximally. Console log says Loading failed for the <script> with source “https://www.googletagmanager.com/gtag/js?id=UA-18912926-1” https://www.googletagmanager.com/gtag/js?id=UA-18912926-1” - It's probably blocked by uBlock, I guess. I hope that helps!

    > It's the pop ups that confused me, because I thought they are the way you intend users to navigate the page. Wait... You've been trying to read the page solely via the section popups in the table of contents? The section popups are just there to give you a preview of the section as a fun bonus Easter egg sort of feature. (I thought it was hilarious when we realized we could do it: "yo dawg...".) We never expected anyone to try to read whole pages through the little popups!
