I'm remembering just how much I love reading poetry. Last year in AP Lit I had a great time with the confessional poetry we read in the war and peace section... I really liked reading and analyzing the poems and writing the close readings for them. I did something similar last night while I was preparing for my online discussion of Sylvia Plath's and Anne Sexton's poems... And I loved it. I enjoy reading books, and I usually don't mind writing papers about them. But poetry... Poetry I love, especially when it's stuff like Plath and Sexton. I don't really care about rhyme schemes and meter... But emotion and thought are very important to me. And that's what I get out of the poetry that I really like.
