the deal with poetry

Okay, so my degree may be in English lit, but that doesn't mean I know a thing about poetry. Poetry! I like the idea of it, and I sure enjoy reading Paul Muldoon, but a lot of the time I just don't get it. (Is this the autistic part of me? I know it's in there somewhere....) Plus which, I hate the idea of having a "month" for something, like women's history month, or whatever--it seems to me a way to marginalize something while pretending not to.

Still and all, as we are apparently nearing the end of "National Poetry Month," I recommend to you what bookslut's been doing with poetry lately, which I find mostly intelligible and often funny.
