I had a great teacher, my grandmother who read Browning Yeats, Guest, Crane, Frost, Sandburg and others to me when I was 3 & 4 years old.<br /><br />I apologize for the way it was taught to you, if it doesn't for a time hang as a painting in your mind, that is not your fault it is the fault of them who tried to force the rote learning and memorization on you. That is sad but I think that now that you don't have someone trying to jam it up your ass, it's time to unpucker and look again. <br /><br />Though she has had some personal issues to deal with for the past few months try Julie Buffaloe-Yoder @ <a href="http://juliebuff.wordpress.com/" rel="nofollow">HERE</a> Personally she is my favorite contemporary poet. Look through her archives and the why of my like of her will become swiftly apparent.the walking manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10058913927297370740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28221839.post-73239017269049854552011-08-14T08:58:05.960-05:002011-08-14T08:58:05.960-05:00Thanks for the Gerald So tip.
