A great read for those interested in, or mystified by, poetry:

“I don’t ‘understand’ some of my favorite poems. I don’t know what they ‘mean,’ but I know what happens to me when I read them; I know the experience I have and its effect on me.”
“I’ve always thought the opposite, that most poetry isn’t hard enough, in the sense that it’s not interesting or engaging enough. It doesn’t hold the attention—you read it once or twice & you’ve used it up. The engagement I look for and too often miss is a kind of pleasure…the opposite of boredom.”

"What I cannot bear, as a reader or as a person, is to be bored. For a poem to be boring is much worse than for a poem to be baffling."
