About
Welcome to my channel, where I make the study of poetry available to readers outside the university.
I'm a PhD candidate of English literature at Harvard University, and I started this channel in 2021 after I noticed that most "close reading" demonstrations online only give the plain summary of a poem. Experiencing poetry is so much more than just learning what the poet could have said if he or she had written a paragraph instead of a poem. I started this channel to show how poetry can be enjoyed as a verbal art form.
Close reading requires careful and reverent attention to the shape of sound and meaning. It helps readers have an imaginative encounter with poetry and cultivates the conditions under which a love of literature may be learned and deepened.
Thanks for stopping by!
