Can I appreciate Paradise Lost and Leaves of Grass if I'm a poetrylet?

>> No.12636653

Of course you can. But you will appreciate them even more when you come back to them.

Yeah man. I too am a poetrylet, and once I gave leaves of grass some time it hit me real hard. University of Iowa has a site that steps through every section of "Song of Myself":

Don't fall for the "reading commentary is a pseud move" meme here on lit. Apprehending others opinions (and being critical of them) is basically how we learn to think. I also really enjoyed reading aloud at first to get into it. Good luck anon.

Only poetrylets can appreciate a horrible garbage like LoG in the first place.
