Times Festival of Books this past year--it was so awesome. How can anyone not like poetry after experiencing it that way? Okay, maybe some people, But it really was awesome.Literary Felinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13079276242303738719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31552114.post-3173908719424585802015-01-29T19:02:50.634-08:002015-01-29T19:02:50.634-08:00I think unfortunately my first brush with poetry w...I think unfortunately my first brush with poetry wasn't very encouraging. In school it seemed my English teacher was only interested in us measuring poetry and that wasn't a lot of fun. Luckily I came back to poetry after my college years after going to poetry slams. Now I love discovering new poems/poets.

You'll find yourself reading lots of "poetry" to your baby when he/she comes from those board and young children's books. ;-)Literary Felinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13079276242303738719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31552114.post-66936050020725353822015-01-28T09:58:07.143-08:002015-01-28T09:58:07.143-08:00This was a great guest post, and I love that you a...This was a great guest post, and I love that you asked her about it.Serenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04745809545249574387noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31552114.post-65290371918977763942015-01-28T06:16:21.905-08:002015-01-28T06:16:21.905-08:00Lovely post!

But I respect people who love it because I wish I was like them - able to read poetry and enjoy it, without worrying I missed the gist of it.Athirahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03366654538383603004noreply@blogger.com
