Burt dispels preconceptions about poetry and explains how poems speak to one another--and how they can speak to our lives. She shows readers how to find more poems once they have some poems they like, and how to connect the poetry of the past to the poetry of the present. Burt moves seamlessly from Shakespeare and other classics to the contemporary poetry circulated on Tumblr and Twitter. She challenges the assumptions that many of us make about \"poetry,\" whether we think we like it or think we don't, in order to help us cherish--and distinguish among--individual poems. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e A masterful guide to a sometimes confounding genre, \u003ci\u003eDon't Read Poetry \u003c\/i\u003ewill instruct and delight ingénues and cognoscenti alike.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eStephanie Burt\u003c\/b\u003e is a professor of English at Harvard University, and the recipient of a 2016 Guggenheim fellowship for poetry.
