The transition picture in the middle is cute

I've never understood how to read poetry. I have several collections and can't decide if I should just one a day or several pages or what. Yeah I'm fucking retarded

Personally, I find the best way to read poetry is through repeated exposure.

Poetry is like music in this way. The first time you listen to a song, you probably won’t catch all of its intricacies. You may pick up on an intriguing melody or something, but you may not notice a subtle key change or shift in time signature. With repeated exposure, however, the depths and intricacies of a song start to reveal themselves. Same with poetry.

So, grab a poem (or a collection of poetry) and read through it with the expectation that you’ll get very little. You may pick up on some nice sounding phrases, the general topic of the poem, etc. Then, revisit the poem again and again.

For a collection of poems, you may read through the collection relatively quickly at first, then do a second slower reading. You may also notice that there poems you want to revisit and others you want to just skip (again, similar to an album where you may want skip songs and just relisten to the songs that initially caught your attention).

There are a few other things I like to do, depending on how much time I have. The fastest way for me to get through a poetry collection is to: (1) not read in chronological order (unless the collection really demands that kind of reading). (2) pick a poem and scan it (ie read it in like under 30 seconds). When doing this try to pick up any key words. (3) Read through the poem again slowly afterwards. (4) move on to next poem.

The more time you spend with poetry, the more you’ll get during those initial reads. The pay off is rewarding.
