Since I generally haven't the patience to really appreciate poetry unless it's read aloud (and sometimes not even then), or unless (like Hopkins, or Donne) the imagery jumps straight off the page at me and grabs me by the throat, it came as a surprise to find how much I enjoyed looking over this blog:

Thanks to James for pointing me to his wife's lovely and thought-provoking site. Reading the love poems made me realize that I have scarcely an ounce of poetry in my soul, but I'll get over it. :)
