Penny, I think I am more realising the truth in this statement, that: “Taste in poetry, as in all the arts, is very much a personal matter.” Phil Roberts, How poetry works (2000). I used to read some poems and wonder why I couldn’t hear anything in them, and I would think it was a flaw in me; I am very slowly learning what I do like, and focussing on those instead. Currently enjoying the collection of Adrienne Rich’s poetry The fact of a doorframe.
