Store Description We are a small mountain bookstore located in the Appalachian mountains working to support our local community. Thank you for your support. But it may require a third or fourth or sixth or seventh reading before it can unfold, full bloom, in your mind at which point you might be happily surprised.
The repeated readings should never feel like a chore, however. In a sense, that's actually the only "trick": cultivating the ease and patience the suspension of urgency and anxiety necessary to really feel and enjoy a poem.
You must suspend or, if possible, banish your impatience about getting on with the next thing you have to do. You cannot be in a hurry and read poetry at the same time. That's like trying to sing opera while doing jumping jacks. It's like trying to hear your own heartbeat over the roar of a jet engine. What Happens Next In this book, we will read poems carefully, ask questions, do some thinking, and generally develop our poetry appreciation tools as a means of getting deeper into or at least closer to the life of the poems.
This book is called a "toolkit" because certain ways of thinking about and looking at poems may work like tools, or keys, for getting inside a poem.
Understanding how an individual poetic device such as a symbol or a rhythm works within the poem, and how it informs your experience of the poem, is one such key, or tool. So we will often focus our attention on individual lines, words, phrases, or "poetic devices" such as specific images or metaphors. But don't be fooled! Never think that this kind of clinical analysis can "explain" a poem, any more than an examination of individual bodily organs or functions can "explain" a human being.
The whole is always inexpressibly more than the sum of its parts. In employing such tools, we are, by definition,dissecting a poem. Keep in mind that the 3. Or, let's just say, it should accompany you. Harjo Over the rainy day mountain Past the laughing blue rainbow Gliding in the cloudless ivory sky The young Happiness bird In the freedom of the quiet solitude or with a loved-one friend Always follow the beauty road Gliding in the cloudless ivory sky Past the laughing blue rainbow Over the rainy day mountain Forever in happiness Forever in beauty Always Exercise: Devising a Question One good tool for putting together a sense of what a poem might mean for you is to ask a question.
Sometimes, a good way to approach a poem is to read it once, twice, three times, and then see what questions you have. Concerning the above poem, for example, I have the following question: What is a "cloudless ivory sky"?
A cloudless sky is normally blue, but ivory is white. So why does this poem repeat such a curious phrase? As I sit with my question, different answers and further questions suggest themselves. Is this the sky of another planet? Somehow that doesn't feel right to me. Perhaps "ivory sky" represents a horizon that is absolutely clear and free of trouble or worry. After all, this poem is talking about a "Happiness bird. Maybe "ivory" pertains more to the texture of the sky than to its color. Perhaps neither of my "answers" are precisely in line with what the author had in mind.
Nonetheless they bring me closer to the poem; they are a way of gathering the poem's essence into myself.
Read the above poem a few times, and devise one or two questions of your own. Then, upon reflection, see if any "answers" present themselves. If not, that's okay too. Perhaps a friend or classmate can suggest answers to your questions, and in turn maybe you can provide possible answers to hers. Patience I know you're busy, so I'll try and keep this short. A Buddhist monk once said, "The spiritual journey requires a cup of wisdom, a barrel of love, and an ocean of patience.
If you have patience the rest will follow. Make no mistake. You cannot read poetry like you read a newspaper. You can't even read it like you read a novel. You can't even read it the way you would study technical information.
William Carlos Williams once called poetry "a machine made out of words. A machine does something, right? Otherwise it is not a machine. And a machine is only good if it works. Some machines need electricity in order to work. Other machines need a human operator to turn a crank, or to pedal or push. Poetry needs patience in order to work.
Patience is to poetry as electricity is to the vacuum cleaner. But what does poetry do when it works? We know what a vacuum cleaner does. But if poetry is a machine, then what kind of machine is it? Poetry is an imagination machine. Good poetry, given patience, lights up your imagination in some way. It surprises you, tickles you, gives you a nudge, or even awes you. It might reveal a new perspective, dazzle your mind's eye, broaden your inner vision.
