Poetry reading

Or maybe you haven't read that piece in a way that does bring about a kind of understanding, an aesthetic understanding that you resonate with.

Yeah, and just to dig a little deeper into that, can you really break down for me why someone may be, like, what are the most common reasons that someone doesn't enjoy reading poetry?

I think you kind of got to it when you said the inaccessibility.

For all the people that say that they don't enjoy poetry, don't enjoy listening to poetry, poetry, unless you hate music as well, is everywhere really.

It's in your films, it's in music.

And I really want you today go into how we can enjoy reading poetry a little bit more.

So let's break this down into a few parts.
