2.5
There's a specific type of poetry that I connect with, which is more direct poetry. Poetry closer to a story/essay, I guess. Or I'm just not intellectual enough. I feel like if someone who got this type of poetry went through it with me maybe I'd get it. But I felt like I wasn't taking the majority of it in. I was reading the words but wasn't getting it, wasn't feeling it.
Some poems or sometimes, a line or two would stick with me and I FELT them. But unfortunately for the most part I didn't connect. Perhaps if I had heard them being performed it would have landed better with me. I'm sad I couldn't connect with this collection of poetry because I've seen people speak of their love of June Jordan.
