"If I read a book and it makes my whole body so cold no fire can ever warm me, I know that it is poetry. If I feel physically as if the top of my head were taken off, I know that it is poetry [...] These are the only ways I know it. Is there any other way?" — Emily Dickinson
In order to know poetry, we must read it! Today, we celebrate National Poetry Writing Month by sitting back in our chairs and enjoying a book of poetry the way we might enjoy a novel or film.
Please feel free to share what you’ve been reading, or anything that you see that is not on the list! Also if you’ve read some of these collections, share your thoughts! Did you like it? What were the poems that stuck out for you? Do you recommend this poet, or do you have any others you would like to recommend we read?
