Baroque enjambment characterizes a highly ornate, syntactically complex line break typical of Baroque or neo-Baroque poetry, where clauses spiral across lines with intricate subordination, delaying resolution to create suspense, intellectual density, or emotional intensity; this technique mirrors the period’s aesthetic of excess and dynamism, as seen in the works of John Donne or contemporary poets like A.R. Ammons, where thought unfolds through cascading, interwoven phrases.

Baroque enjambment features elaborate, ornate line breaks that heighten syntactic complexity; common in 17th-century or neo-baroque poetry—use to amplify emotional or intellectual intensity.
