Excerpt rom the Introduction:
1: Enjoy the poems. This seems far more important than trying to puzzle out what the author meant (or what other people believe the author meant).
2: Engage with the poems by asking questions….
3: Be your own boss. Read the poems in order or jump around as you see fit. Share them or savor them all by yourself. Say them aloud or whisper their words in your heart.
Poetry makes life better. There is NO wrong way to experience a poem. So, read on, dear friend. And thank you for choosing poetry.
