I've loved poetry fro a long time, and I'm excited to connect with other poetry lovers online.

In my head I will.......I so wish I could join you! In my head I will.....I have no idea if I will be in an apartment by then or not, so I will keep it in the back of my mind, because I've often thought that a big get-together of book bloggers would be so much fun!! <br /><br />I LOVE what you wrote about poetry and all your answers to Kailana's questions. I wanted to join, but this year has been so bad for keeping up with much that I haven't been able to go along every month. You know I've been trying to find a copy of Atlas since you posted about it two years ago! lol I really love that you have been reading poetry for that long, that's even rarer to meet these days. I think I have always read poetry, and certainly have had phases of it - Sylvia Plath was a big one, ee cummings, who I adore, Sir Thomas Wyatt. I was thinking of doing a post of some of the poets I like, too, so maybe I will after answering here! <br /><br />And don't be ashamed or think something is wrong with you if you don't like poetry that you have to ponder for a long time. I don't like them either - I know there is a place for them, and they are an art form, but like you, I read poetry for its emotional connection and impact. It's the closest we can come to seeing through another's eyes, like a painting can be, too. The poetry I like has to move me emotionally or it doesn't resonate me, doesn't stay with me and live on in me.<br /><br />Lovely, passionate post, Chris.Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09095246748581382752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7315611891697079859.post-65196893807463148592012-07-09T18:16:25.220-05:002012-07-09T18:16:25.220-05:00LOL--good to hear Matt's in. :PLOL--good to hear Matt's in. :PDebihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13999759633682551104noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7315611891697079859.post-26954025671561340542012-07-09T11:24:19.495-05:002012-07-09T11:24:19.495-05:00Yep, definitely in for the meetup!

(Even if they say they do!)<br /><br />Find and share what you love. And there is a reason Natasha Trethewey is our new Poet Laureate!

My experience with poetry is abysmal, and my knowledge of it pretty much boils down to remembering that Clinton gave Monica Lewinsky (and Hillary!) Whitman's Leaves of Grass. What a thoughtful guy.<br /><br />I do like Robert Frost, but probably because I can understand him. I think.<br /><br />As to your invitation for a book bloggers meeting, wouldn't that be fun?! I'd love to come tho' I may have to bring my husband and put him In a hotel while we all talk books. ;)Bellezza https://www.blogger.com/profile/18073864187188953633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7315611891697079859.post-55865775365150660712012-07-07T19:07:45.587-05:002012-07-07T19:07:45.587-05:00All over it!All over it!Andihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05220718933942181809noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7315611891697079859.post-65333868502634646602012-07-07T17:37:59.360-05:002012-07-07T17:37:59.360-05:00I'm in! ;PI'm in! ;PMatthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17073417150706336797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7315611891697079859.post-29535257205947078532012-07-07T08:00:44.085-05:002012-07-07T08:00:44.085-05:00lol.. i probably could only be there via skype! bu...lol.. i probably could only be there via skype! but getting together and meeting all those you talk to on the computer is an awsome idea.DesLilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02582481597658080464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7315611891697079859.post-49234277713221165412012-07-06T22:38:03.577-05:002012-07-06T22:38:03.577-05:00OMG, I am so there.
