How to Love Poetry


  • Write some yourself

  • Read it aloud
  • Shout it from rooftops
  • Release all your expectations

  • Let it be what it is

  • Bathe with it
  • Read it by moonlight

  • Read it with a partner
  • Read it by candlelight
  • Read it to music
  • Sing it
  • Embrace it

  • Don't try to force it to 'be' anything
  • Imagine the backstory/context
  • Say "To hell with rhyme and meter!"

  • Watch the movie Dead Poets Society
  • Read poetry YOU like
  • Don't over-analyse
