I’ve tried getting into poetry before, but I think I haven found the right spot in my life for it? Usually I read when I have at least half an hour to spare - on my commute, before bed, a rainy afternoon alone, etc. But I can’t sit down, take a book of poems and then read one after another for 30 minutes, right?

It feels like I should give them more space. But then I never just feel like picking up the book, read a poem and then go on with something else.

Do you have a dedicated time, like reading one poem each day before bed? Do you sit down with a book of poetry, read one and then just think about it for a while until you’re ready for the next?

    I would advocate to always read a poem in its original language, and never a translation.
