Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Many people today are of the belief that they don't 'get' poetry, regarding a poem with almost the same trepidation they might regard, say, a complicated physics equation.In fairness to those many people, some poems are dense. Or cryptic. Or full of confusing words. (Or all three.) Such poems can be intimidating. Such poems can sometimes dissuade people from reading more poetry.That's a huge bummer, because most people's lives would be tremendously enriched by reading more poetry.
