The NYT published an article entitled,
“Will You Fall in Love With This Poem? I Did.” (I've used a "gift link" so it should open for everyone everywhere — or maybe not
)
I'm impressed with how interactive the article is for the reader, functioning as much like a tool to deliver a lesson in analyzing poetry as it does a straight read. I’ll leave the rest to the reader to digest and comment as they see it. Keep in mind, the poem is watching you.
(At one point while reading the article I turned my attention to the bio of the author of the article, A.O. Scott, and discovered he had written a book entitled,
Better Living Through Criticism: How to Think About Art, Pleasure, Beauty and Truth.)
