Why Poetry
by Matthew Zapruder
Why Poetry" by Matthew Zapruder is a must read if you want to feel better about not understanding poetry.
I have always loved to write poems, but there are times I will read a poem and be like, "I don't get it" and walk away. Then sometimes I'll read a poem and be like, "I don't get it" but somehow it made me feel an emotion I was not feeling before the read, or conjure up a foreign thought. Poetry calls to you and everyone has a different experience.
That's what I love about it- it's so personalized. As Matthew perfectly states: "The true meaning of a poem is in the mind of each half-dreaming reader."
