"Poetry has leapt out of its world and into the world" Poetry is
everywhere. From Amanda Gorman performing "The Hill We Climb"
before the nation at Joe Biden's Presidential inauguration, to
poems regularly going viral on Instagram and Twitter, more
Americans are reading and interacting with poetry than ever before.
Avidly Reads Poetry is an ode to poetry and the worlds that come
into play around the different ways it is written and shared.
Mixing literary and cultural criticism with the author's personal
and often intimate relationship with poetry, Avidly Reads Poetry
breathes life into poems of every genre-from alphabet poems and
Shakespeare's sonnets to Claudia Rankine's Citizen and Rupi Kaur's
Instapoetry-and asks: How do poems come to us? How do they make us
feel and think and act when they do? Who and what is poetry for?
Who does poetry include and exclude, and what can we learn from it?
Each section links a reason why we might read poetry with a type of
poem to help us think about how poems are embedded in our lives, in
our loves, our educations, our politics, and our social media,
sometimes in spite of, and sometimes very much because of, the
nation we live in. Part of the Avidly Reads series, this slim book
gives us a new way of looking at American culture. With the
singular blend of personal reflection and cultural criticism
featured in the series, Avidly Reads Poetry shatters the wall
between poetry and "the rest of us."
