"At once erudite and colloquial" (New Yorker), this book provides
an accessible introduction to the joys and challenges of poetry In
Don't Read Poetry, poet and literary critic Stephanie Burt offers
an accessible introduction to the seemingly daunting task of
reading, understanding, and appreciating poetry. Burt dispels
preconceptions about poetry and explains how poems speak to one
another-and how they can speak to our lives. She shows readers how
to find more poems once they have some poems they like, and how to
connect the poetry of the past to the poetry of the present. Burt
moves seamlessly from Shakespeare and other classics to the
contemporary poetry circulated on Tumblr and Twitter. She
challenges the assumptions that many of us make about "poetry,"
whether we think we like it or think we don't, in order to help us
cherish-and distinguish among-individual poems. A masterful guide
to a sometimes confounding genre, Don't Read Poetry will instruct
and delight ingenues and cognoscenti alike.
