#So staring down a 400+ page collection of poems is not helpful they'll all start to run into one another

Love how my taste in poetry is utterly irrational, has absolutely no rhyme nor reason, and seems to be based solely on Vibes
#I'm not a poetry person though I do intend to read more of it
#And there are a lot of mediaeval poets in the category of 'poetry I like' but that might also just be because I've READ more mediaeval poems
#Meanwhile my knowledge of modern poetry is patchy at best and it's really not clear where to start if I don't want to do it chronologically
#But yeah
#Setting Chaucer Dunbar Henryson and the rest of the gang to one side
#And Burns whose works are written on my heart due to upbringing even though I've not read much of him as an adult
#There seems to be absolutely no reason why I go 'Eh it's alright I suppose' to some poems and 'YES THAT ONE YES' to others
#Entirely vibes
#I'm coming to the conclusion that that's maybe the best way to consume poetry anyway
#My lack of modern poetry knowledge is not helped by the fact that I like to have the whole of a poet's output at my disposal
#But I also like to dip in and out of poetry
#So staring down a 400+ page collection of poems is not helpful they'll all start to run into one another
#But at the same time I don't want to buy individual collections as I might be missing out on something
#So I just never read it
