Poem Without A Hero, I’m coming back to reread you slowly, and with more knowledge. Lol Gotta read some more from whom she referenced. Also, Anna was incredibly well read and highly intelligent. Makes me feel like dumb dumb. Lol But I am really enjoying her poetry! Onto the next bit!

It’s difficult for me to read poetry as it should be read. Is that normal? To read poetry like a novel? Not reading any outloud? Or repetive reading of the same one? Doing scansion? I don’t do any of that. I find myself reading several that I truly love several times over. I love poetry so much and Anna’s is superb so far.
