I enjoyed this week of poetry more than any other unit of poetry we have done. This genre made sense for me and I was able to engage emotionally, not just intellectually. I truly felt what I was listening to and I was able to appreciate it in a way I have not been able to appreciate any of the other poetry.
I am in awe of this genre of poetry. It is unprecedented in it’s kind and it’s influence has poured over into literature after it. It is a whole new level of depth that is being tapped into. It makes sense that it was so successful and started a boom of literature after it because people crave for others to be vulnerable and to step out and say things that they themselves would never admit. It is almost healing.
