Is poetry trying too hard?

Posted on March 12, 2013 by ac140642

I’m gonna throw it out there right off the bat: I don’t like poetry, it’s never been my thing. Surely, there must be a reason. I’ve never been a fan of reading in general, but I like stories and I … Continue reading →

To Brooklyn Bridge

Posted on March 10, 2013 by ac140642

Reading “To Brooklyn Bridge” is intimidating and confusing at first. After several reads and research, the message of it is simple and clear. The poem is very short and littered with metaphors and far-fetched adjectives, but through breaking it down, … Continue reading →
