When was the last time you bought a book which contains only poems? Mine was on 9.9.2003 when I went to Books etc in London.It is small hardcover.It cost me GBP 2.00.My intention was to learn how to appreciate literature as well as to get deeper understanding of being alive.Somehow,it didnot work well with me;I still prefer to read novels and essays.
"Poetry was not written to be analysed,it was meant to inspire without reason,to touch without understanding."-From The Notebook-The Novel,by Nicholas Sparks.
