What a good use of time! The Alexander one sounds very interesting. I liked Michael Wood's documentary on him.<br /><br />I must be a highly visual learner. I can listen to audio books when it's just novels. But I could never listen to poetry that way. I have to read poetry, b/c it almost always requires such thought and dissection and rumination, for me to figure it out. I have to re-read many times. I have to see it, to keep it in my mind. For me, hearing poetry is like smelling food; it's a passing thing. Reading poetry is like eating food; it sticks to my ribs that way :) Thanks for this great post!M.K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09205619221345704689noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7512869338404805014.post-77516757803435834872012-11-30T03:50:16.043-08:002012-11-30T03:50:16.043-08:00I've bookmarked The Big Read.

Her auntie tried to teach her to "pour out" properly. I always spill. Pom Pomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01524994024698986829noreply@blogger.com
