I have to understand poetry to get my English degree. But I haven’t ever cared about it particularly and know nothing at all about it on any kind of grown-up level. Exams are coming up real fast.
So, I try to inundate myself in it through going to as many readings as I can. At least I’ve found some stuff I genuinely like. Jane Griffiths and Carmen Bugan (or some name rather like that) read in Oxford every once in a while and I really enjoy their stuff.
Guess I need to find a way to take that enjoyment to the older stuff I must turn my attention to in the next few weeks.
