  • Help me read poetry please

    Hi! I'm new to reading poetry and I need help. I've always had an aversion to it because I was made to believe (when I was impressionable) that it's difficult, pretentious, and without real benefit. This is obviously BS. I'm now looking to read one book of poetry a month.

    I'd like to start small and easy-ish as to not stunt and demotivate myself. So, if you have any recommendations, that would be so helpful!

    PS: I'm kinda skittish when it comes to big names (I know, it's all in my head but I really don't want to take any chances that could dim my spark by unearthing previous doubts and fears—I want to kill them with new poetry.)

    Thank you for your understanding and your help!

    Pero que cosa más bonita, por dios, para leer hoy, que se cumplen 90 años de su asesinato. A veces pienso en cómo sería este país, y el resto del mundo, si las cosas hubieran sido distintas durante la Guerra Civil, si no hubieran ganado los malos... Llorar a Federico es llorar todo lo que pudo ser, y todo lo que fue reprimido durante tantos años: el amor, la alegría de vivir, de cantar, de soñar. Siempre me emociona pensar en Lorca, Cernuda, y Aleixandre, uno fusilado, el otro exiliado, y el tercero aguantando el chaparrón, los tres destinos de España después del ese horrible verano del 36.
